Havasu Balloon Festival Daytime Activities Entertained Crowds

The Havasu Balloon Festival and Fair over the past weekend hosted many activities in addition to the balloon ascensions events.

Out of six mass ascensions, the balloons went up for four flights, plus a flight Thursday morning after the pilots visited the schools. There were also three night glows.

During the festival, bands, vendors, a stunt bike show and on-the-field events which included karate demonstrations and dog tricks, that were all a part of the fun.

Here are daytime photos from the event.
