Balloons Over Bavarian Inn

Witness beautiful morning and evening flights by 24 hot air balloons over Frankenmuth! Nightly balloon glows take place in the grassy field near River Place Shops, this is a must-see event you don’t want to miss at the Frankenmuth Dog Bowl!

Do you live within a 10 mile radius of Frankenmuth? If so and you would like to allow a Hot Air Balloon to land or launch from your property, please place a white sheet on the spot. Make sure your sheet can be seen from the air and when a Balloon Pilot sees it he knows you have given him permission to land. Thank You for welcoming the Hot Air Balloons to our community!

Schedule:

Evening Balloon Flight: 7:00 to 8:30 PM over downtown Frankenmuth

Nightly Balloon Glow: 9:00 to 10:00 PM at River Place Shops Field – Experience the Village of Balloons! Watch 12+ tethered hot air balloons inflate at the River Place Shops field and 2 balloons in the front lawn of the Bavarian Inn Lodge. Opportunities to interact with the pilots and crew are available during each Nightly Balloon Glow at Dog Bowl.
