Winthrop Balloon Roundup
March 2 - March 2
The skies over Winthrop brighten with the brilliant colors of hot air balloons. This 3-day Hot Air Balloon Roundup is an incredible sight to see. Watch as hot air balloons fly over the old western town of Winthrop framed by the snow-capped mountains of the North Cascades.
While many balloon festivals are held in the summertime, the Winthrop Balloon Roundup allows visitors to experience the Methow Valley’s world-class winter recreational pursuits of Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, and sledding. Winthrop has activities for the whole family and various food and lodging options during your stay.
VIEWING THE BALLOONS: The balloons are scheduled to launch during each of the three mornings of this event, but the weather will determine if the balloons can launch. Consider extending your stay to ensure being able to see the balloons. Check back here to learn if the balloons will launch each morning.
