Hillsborough Balloon Festival and Fair
This balloon festival and fair has something for everyone. The Eastern Draft Horse Pulls continues to draw one of the strongest fields of draft horses in the state. The Festival also features some of the best regional performing artists, including Hillsborough's own Country and Western vocalist, Angela West, with her group "Showdown". Other events include 4x4 truck and tractor pulls, a Mud Bog pull and a 5K road race. Recently, an Artist's Fair has been established during Balloon Festival weekend and the Hometown Parade on Sunday has grown to include many civic groups with marching bands, floats, military personnel and a wide assortment of fire apparatus from all over New Hampshire.
And don't forget the main attraction - Hot Air Balloons piloted and crewed by regional balloon enthusiasts. Balloon flights over New Hampshire's beautiful Monadnock Region are available to the general public along with tethered flights for the more cautious.
Our Saturday night fireworks extravaganza is one of the premier fireworks displays in all of New Hampshire.
So, bring the family, stay the weekend and enjoy Hillsborough's small town atmosphere, explore our antique shops and ancient stone bridges, visit our unique open-air Mack truck museum and perhaps even attend a country auction in a 17th century barn. Sample home made breads, an old-fashioned ice cream parlor and a variety of local dining establishments.
