spirit of boise

The Spirit of Boise has been bringing the beauty of hot air ballooning to the city for 31 years. This year an extra special surprise excited the city during the annual nite glow spectacular. After a 45 minute display of the hot air balloons lighting up the night, the crowd was surprised with an incredible drone show

The hot air balloons have returned to the Boise skyline for the 31st Annual Scott Spencer Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic.

The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic brings the community together with a spectacular array of about 50 colorful and massive hot air balloons. The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic is celebrating its 31st Birthday this year and is set to be an incredible, memorable and beautiful 5 day event.

If you made it to the final launch of this year's Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic, you were treated to a sight that few have seen in Boise before!

There's still time to admire this amazing event

What a wonderful city we live in with opportunities for fantastic community events like the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic, celebrating 30 years this year. Check out the photos of the amazing flight and experience below and make sure you scroll to the end to see our epic BSU landing. We landed, deflated and packed up the balloon right in front of the administration building at Boise State University. We had a group of collage students stop and take photos and videos. I will never forget this monumental day. Thank you Boise for being so amazing.

One of the most beloved end of summer events is back in Boise! The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic kicked off at Ann Morrison Park on Wednesday morning and continues all weekend.

This was a nice little surprise this morning.

So yesterday when I was invited to ride in a hot air balloon at the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic I lucked out and got to ride with Randi Ashton and his amazing crew aboard the "Damnit Irving!"  Although when I found out the name of his balloon I had to ask, "how did you come up with a name like Damnit Irving...

We are just 2 days away from one of the most spectacular events in the city of Boise!
