Come enjoy the 44th annual Balloon A-Fair festival as 15 hot air balloons rise overhead during the third weekend in September. The festival will be in the downtown Ravenna area and at the SUNBEAU Valley Farm.

This festival was conceived by some enterprising individuals who believed Ravenna should celebrate one of the city's earliest industries, toy balloons manufactured at the Oak Rubber Company.

Over the years different themes have captured the essence of the festival. This year's theme will be Carried Up & Away with Community Spirit
