St. Bernard Parish Offering NOLA’s First Balloon Festival

The Bayou Road Balloon Festival is the first hot air balloon festival in the Greater New Orleans area. November 10-12, enjoy great food, music, rides and over a dozen hot air balloons at Sidney D. Torres Memorial Park.

Don’t miss seeing Ham-Let, the world’s largest flying pig balloon, sponsored by Gulf Coast Bank & Trust! Take a tethered balloon ride, and see the spectacular “balloon glow” each evening.

The St. Bernard Veterans Day parade will happen in conjunction with the festival. Showcasing the vibrant communities of St. Bernard Parish, the Bayou Road Balloon Festival is not to be missed!
