STEAMBOAT SPRINGS EVENTS
31th Annual Hot Air Balloon Rodeo & 37th Annual Art in the Park
July 9 - 10, 2011
Join us for the most anticipated and colorful weekends of the summer. The 31st Annual Hot Air Balloon Rodeo and the 37th Annual Art in the Park have become a staple of Steamboat in the Summertime. On Saturday, start your day at Bald Eagle Lake for a spectacular early-morning affair as you watch over 40 hot air balloons rise softly from the mist and drift over the Yampa Valley. Afterwards make your way over to West Lincoln Park for Steamboat's biggest arts and crafts festival. Art in the Park takes place on Saturday from 9-5 P.M. and on Sunday from 9-4 P.M. Mark your calendars because this weekend is an absolute favorite for the entire family!
Launch Field
For the ultimate experience, you are invited to join us on the launch field and watch the pilots prepare for take off! This is a great photography opportunity.

Approximately 9/10 of a mile south of Walton Creek Road on Highway 40. The physical address is: 35565 South Highway 40 and the property is better known as the Bald Eagle Lake or Water Ski Lake. There is NO PUBLIC PARKING at the event. *FREE TRANSPORTATION IS PROVIDED FROM THE MEADOWS PARKING LOT. There will be vendors selling souvenirs, coffee and breakfast items on the launch field so plan to come on down and check out the balloons inflating.
*Parking is FREE for the Saturday and Sunday morning. Park at the Meadows parking lot on Pine Grove Road. Transportation from the Meadows Lot to the event is also FREE.
