Event Description
Balloons Over Wadsworth, an eagerly anticipated event held at Wadsworth Municipal Airport, promises an unforgettable family-oriented experience on Saturday, August 9th. An exciting lineup of activities and entertainment awaits, designed to amuse and captivate visitors of all ages. This year's event is presented by Inspire Aviation, a dedicated 501-C3 non-profit aiming to ignite a passion for aviation and STEM through educational ventures. Together, Balloons Over Wadsworth and Inspire Aviation offer an opportunity to create magical moments and inspire future professionals within the realm of aviation.
In 2024, over 55 companies, organizations, and individuals supported this Wadsworth Tradition. The event had approximately 7,000 spectators, 25 food trucks, and a Kids' Zone. Proceeds benefited the Inspire Aviation mission. This spring, we will award several scholarships to students wanting to enter the field of aviation.
