Up, Up and Away at The Antelope Island Balloon Stampede

In 2006, the Davis Chamber of Commerce Lakesiders Committee dreamed a dream to create a premier “signature” event in Davis County where residents of the area would be able to join with visitors from around the state and surrounding regions in an annual celebration. Thus, the Antelope Island Balloon Stampede was born. There is no place on earth like Antelope Island, located in “America’s Dead Sea” to experience this visually spectacular event.

Balloon launches will take place each morning at sunrise (approximately 7:00 AM) and the ever popular Balloon Glow Friday and Saturday evening at dusk (all events are weather permitting). If you haven’t experienced the beauty of the island, this is a perfect opportunity to take in the incredible scenery and unforgettable sunsets, splashed with vivid colors of over 20+ balloons launching simultaneously.

During the day there will be several activities, including continuous live entertainment like Mid Life Crisis Friday night 7:30-9:30 PM and Full Circle Saturday night 7:00-10:00 PM, both local favorites. Additional bands and entertainment acts will perform throughout the day and drawings for great prize give-a-ways will take place all through the event. Food and Gift vendors will be plentiful, offering everything from giant inflatable toys, custom handmade jewelry, buffalo burgers and much, much more.

Bring the whole family because there is something for everyone. The Kids Corral (Saturday 9-5) will have Face Painting, make-your-own Bird Feeders, Story Tellers and a Movie area - and don’t miss the Magician!

Admission to the Island is only $10.00 per carload and $5.00 for bicycles and seniors. Advance tickets are available at SmithsTix at no added cost.
