Michigan Challenge Balloonfest

More than 50 spectacular balloons will fill the Southeast Michigan skies with color and spectacle. The Michigan Challenge is a ballooning competition, but there are lots more than just balloons. It’s a weekend filled with excitement, entertainment and fun. Don’t miss concerts, special events, great shopping, and restaurants in Howell on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Downtown is about one mile east of the balloonfest ground on Grand River Avenue. It’s a pleasant walk from the balloonfest grounds past Victorian homes. Taking your car downtown? Parking passes allow you to re-enter the grounds as often as you wish on the day indicated on the pass.
