History
1987
was the first
year of the
LIONS
CLUB BALLOON
FESTIVAL AND
FAIR,
at Highland Village,
Texas, with two balloon flights
scheduled during the one-day event.
With the help of the North Texas Ballooning Association, there
were eighteen balloons involved. The festival, with twenty
five craft booths, drew an estimated two thousand people.
The festival continues to grow larger year after year. Two
simultaneous balloon glows, on stage entertainment, food and
drink vending, covered and lighted tents for arts and crafters,
and a carnival are now part of the festival. From a humble
beginning over twenty years ago, the Lions Club Balloon
Festival and Fair at Highland Village, Texas, has grown to be
the largest scheduled event in Denton County with upward
of twenty five thousand people attending.
2013
brings the first annual Hot Air 5K Run where runners
get to race along the trails of Highland Village under a
canopy of hot air balloons. Haugen Properties is proud
to be a sponsor of this exciting new event. 100% of the
proceeds from the Festival go to Lions Club and local
charities. The Lions Club Balloon and Music Festival is
truly the premier event of Denton County.
