Please join us on Saturday, August 21 at 11:00 a.m. for our forth Great Falls Balloon Festival Parade. The parade theme chosen this year to coordinate with our special shapes is "Celebrating Maine Farms". In keeping with the theme our Grand Marshall are winners of the poster contest sponsored by the Harvest Hill Farms. This year's parade will also feature various mascots, themed floats, local bands, balloon pilots and crews, and many other exciting attractions.
