The Paris Balloon and Music Festival is our primary fundraiser and program service that brings approximately 6,000 people to the event for the very purpose of enjoying and being immersed in creative and artistic activities. About 52 market vendors display handcrafts custom creations demonstrations and offer these items for sale. Also we provide 2-4 bands each night for lively music while watching the beautiful hot air balloons at dusk. The balloons are exquisite examples of art in motion. What a beautiful sight! In addition we grant money to other local non-profit organizations that focus on the Arts and education. College scholarships are given by these organizations and they also focus on providing creative events and opportunities in the community.
