Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, current New Jersey State health guidelines, and protocols limiting the size of outdoor crowd gatherings, we have decided that the reasonable and responsible thing to do is postpone this year's edition of the New Jersey Lottery Festival of Ballooning in association with PNC Bank.
 
The 38^th edition of the annual summer event is now scheduled for July 23 - 25, 2021.
 
“After careful consideration, we have made the extremely difficult decision to suspend this year’s efforts to hold the New Jersey Lottery Festival of Ballooning.  We are heartbroken for the thousands of people who were looking forward to this year’s festival, one which brings our community and our state together every summer to celebrate the magic of ballooning,” said Festival Executive Producer Howard Freeman. 

“We will now move ahead with planning next year’s festival in its normal summer time slot and looking forward to brighter skies ahead when our community and all of our balloonatic friends can safely be together.  Rest assured we'll be back bigger and better in 2021."
