RE/MAX Ballunar Festival in Clear Lake
The RE/MAX Ballunar Festival has become one of the largest balloon events in the United States. It’s an event that folks all around the Clear Lake and Bay Area look forward to every year.
Held at the NASA/Johnson Space Center each October, this event is quite the success! In addition to the skies being littered with dozens of drifting hot air balloons, there are skydiving and other aerial sport events and demonstrations as well. The event kicks off with a Saturday sunrise mass launch from all around the Johnson Space Center, Webster, and League City areas. The aeronauts converge on the Space Center and rendezvous there in landings all over Rocket 
Park. Saturday evenings, near dusk, a balloon glow is featured. It’s really a sight to see!
The event started in 1993 with strong support from RE/MAX of Texas. The RE/MAX hot air balloon and "Above the Crowd!® " logo are featured, and with this balloon and logo being one of the most recognized corporate symbols in the world, you can expect to see several of them drifting over the crowd.
For many years I’ve loved bringing my children out to this activity, one of Clear Lake’s most popular events. These days, as time’s gone by, I like going with my grandchildren now - and seeing brand new little smiles of wonder light up their faces even more!
