The Best Properties for Graduation Celebration Gatherings

Hot air balloon festivals are major events in the Southwest, drawing thousands of spectators and hundreds of colorful balloons to the desert skies. Timing your vacation rental stay to coincide with one of these festivals adds a spectacular visual element to your trip that the whole family will remember.

Notable Balloon Events Near Our Properties

The Arizona Balloon Classic, held annually in the Phoenix area, features mass ascensions, balloon glows, and tethered rides. While the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is a longer drive, many guests staying at our Gilbert and Mesa properties make the road trip for this world-famous event. Smaller balloon festivals and sunrise flights operate year-round in the East Valley.

Watch from Your Vacation Rental

On clear mornings, guests at The Grand Oasis and Pieper Mansion have been known to spot balloons drifting over the valley right from their patios. It is one of those magical vacation moments that you cannot plan for but will never forget. Book your Arizona stay at LoveYourVacationRental.com and keep your eyes on the skies.
