PARK CITY, Utah— The annual Autumn Aloft hot air balloon launch event will take place on September 17 and 18. Both days will have a main launch time of 8 a.m. at the North 40 Field off Kearns Boulevard, featuring over 20 hot air balloonists. On September 17, there will be an evening candlestick event between the intersections of 4th and 5th on Main Street, starting at 8 p.m., where balloonists light up the night sky by flaring their hot air burners.

Each day is subject to the weather as wind direction, or gusts of wind can cause unsafe conditions.

Parking is available at the Eccles Center/Park City High School or China Bridge parking garage lots, where transit is available to take you to the event.

Like many transplants to Utah, Kevin started his journey to Park City as a ski instructor in 2014 and fell in love with the mountains enough to stay. A skier since the age of 2 and a half, he still gets excited about carving turns down the slopes and hopping into the powder on snow days. Kevin's passion for storytelling and photography led him to a second bachelor's degree focused on communications and fine art photography from the University of Utah. Paired with his first undergrad in ecology from Oklahoma State University, Kevin particularly enjoys writing environmental and nature stories. In his spare time, you can usually find him in his jeep looking for wildlife and landscapes to photograph.
