Experience Centralia Balloon Fest from a new perspective by volunteering to crew a hot air balloon! 🔥 Crew are needed to help inflate, chase, and pack away the hot air balloons.

No experience needed! Our local pilots help train new crew on the Wednesday before Balloon Fest, at 5:30pm at Foundation Park.

Children can also join, as long as a parent is with them and the children can take direction.

The balloons are scheduled to fly at 6:00am and 5:30pm during Balloon Fest. If you can't make the crew training, you can still learn on the spot! If you're still reading this, thank you, and I want to sneak in there that balloon flights during Balloon Fest are reserved for sponsors and then crew. Flights are not promised and are weather dependent.
