Previously recognized by Louisville Magazine as Louisville's "Best Event," the 39th annual U.S. Bank Derby Festival Great Balloon Race and 19th annual U.S. Bank Derby Festival Great Balloon Glow will continue as two of the marquee events of the Derby Festival schedule.

These events come together to create a single, cohesive ballooning experience beloved by the entire community. In recognition of that special community feeling, we're officially designating this entire weekend as the U.S. Bank Great BalloonFest.

These five great events take place the weekend before the Kentucky Derby and attract tens of thousands of spectators to the Kentucky Exposition Center and other locations throughout Greater Louisville.
