Everyone in the Denver Area - Need Something to do this Weekend? Try the Rocky Mountain Balloon Festival
I just got off the phone with a home buyer that is in town for the weekend. They have already found their new home, so now they have the weekend free to just see what living in Douglas County Colorado is all about. One 
of the things I recommended they check out is the Rocky Mountain Balloon Festival.
Held each year in August at Chatfield State Park, the Rocky Mountain Balloon Festival runs Saturday 8/25 and Sunday 8/26th. The first balloon will lift off at 6:30 Saturday and can be seen for miles. I can even see them from my home in Highlands Ranch. The neighborhoods around Chatfield will have fantastic views.
The festival will continue all weekend with music and activities throughout the park. I am always amazed at how colorful all of the balloons are and how many different sizes and shapes that they come in. RE/MAX is once again a sponsor, so I feel pretty confident that you will even see the RE/MAX balloon there.
One of the most popular events is the balloon illumination of Lites in the Night. We went to this a few years ago and it was spectacular. If you plan far in advance for next year, you can be one of the lucky ones to get a campsite for this fun annual event.
If you are looking for a home in a neighborhood where you can watch the balloons for years to come, it would be my pleasure to assist you.
Chatfield State Park is located in north-west Douglas County off of C470 and Wadsworth. The festival itself is free, but you must pay a $6.00 fee to enter the park if you do not have an annual pass.
