Imagine a crisp, cool, picture-perfect morning amidst the dramatic backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains when, suddenly, 15 colorful hot air balloons begin inflating simultaneously. An amazing sight!

The Ogden Valley Balloon and Artist Festival is scheduled for August 16, 17 and 18. The event will be held at Eden Park, the site of the first Valley Balloon Festival held in 1994. The festival offers affordable fun for the whole family. This year’s event will feature balloon launches, art booths, continuous live entertainment featuring an eclectic selection of music, family games, and a diverse group of local food vendors.

Come by and learn how we all came together to win wilderness protection for 663,000 acres of the San Rafael Swell, Labyrinth Canyon and Desolation Canyon earlier this year! Learn what role, at any level, as a volunteer or activist, you can play in helping to Protect Wild Utah.

Volunteers needed to help staff the SUWA booth all three days. Email dave@suwa.org for more information or to volunteer.
