We have noticed that folks LOVE watching hot air balloons on a beautiful summer evening. They enjoyed it in droves at the first-ever Great Smoky Mountain Hot Air Balloon Festival August 19 in Townsend, Tennessee. The event was put on by the Townsend Visitors Center, and drew an estimated 10,000 people to the peaceful side of the Smokies. We had some of the best wineries in Tennessee representing Nine Lakes Wine Country, in the Wine Garden at the event. And if you missed it, don’t worry, you can see these beautiful balloons again at the Muscadine Balloon Fiesta in Madisonville, Sept. 2-3! Plus Nine Lakes Wine Country will be there again with samplings of all our best Tennessee wines and ciders.
Here are some photos from the Townsend event.
