By Great Reno Balloon Race Site |
Wed, 12 May 2010
The Great Reno Balloon Race is the largest free hot air ballooning
event in the Nation. During three days in early September, you can look
up into the Reno skies and see a rainbow of hot air balloons soaring
about. From its humble beginnings in 1982 with just 20 balloons, The
Great Reno Balloon Race has taken flight with more than 100 balloons
each year. Taking place just a few miles north of downtown Reno, the
event enchants both young and old with its vibrant colors and inspiring
music. The Balloon Race has won many awards over the years including
'Best Special Event in Reno' and 'Best Special Event
in Northern Nevada.' With an average of 150,000 spectators
attending the event each year, the number of lives touched by the
beautiful spectacle continues to rise just like the balloons themselves.
