• On mobile devices, tap the "Tickets" button in the bottom navigation bar.
• Print your tickets at home and bring a paper copy.
• Take a screenshot of your QR code and save it to your phone's photo gallery for quick access at the gate.
• Save the QR code image somewhere easy to find before arriving.

What's Included with Festival Admission?
Festival admission includes:
• Hot air balloon launches (weather and pilot permitting)
• NW Natural Night Glow (weather and pilot permitting)
• Free tethered balloon rides (weather and pilot permitting)
• Live entertainment
• Festival of Cars
• Artisan vendors
• Kids Zone activities
• And more
Please note: Carnival rides, games, 5K registration, balloon flights, and select activities require separate admission or fees.
Why a 3-Day Weekend Pass?
Hot air ballooning is a weather-dependent sport. Some days may feature launches, some may feature tethered rides, and some may not allow balloon activity at all.
Rather than selling single-day tickets and having guests disappointed by weather conditions on a particular day, TFOB offers one affordable 3-Day Weekend Pass that allows guests the flexibility to enjoy all three days of the Festival and maximize their chances of experiencing balloon activity.
