FOLEY, AL – The highly anticipated Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival is set to return May 1-3, 2025, bringing a sky full of color and excitement to Foley, Alabama. While the festival is FREE to attend, a limited number of VIP Experience tickets are now on sale—so don’t wait to secure your spot!

The VIP Pass ($150 per person) includes:

Dinner on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night
VIP Parking
Unlimited Coca-Cola products
Four free alcoholic beverages and access to a private VIP bar
Air-conditioned restroom trailers

Guests can also purchase VIP Parking separately for $30 if they don’t wish to buy the full VIP Pass.

A significant upgrade to our VIP Experience in recent years has been the relocation of VIP parking. Previously situated in a paved lot near general parking, VIP guests often experienced delays due to peak-hour traffic congestion. To enhance convenience and reduce wait times, VIP parking was moved to a grassy area that is now the closest possible location to the VIP tent and balloon glow field (see the festival map). This change not only keeps VIPs out of general traffic but also allows us to provide a dedicated shuttle service with direct drop-off at the VIP entrance—making the arrival experience smoother and more enjoyable.

Please note: VIP Parking is included with the purchase of a VIP Experience Pass ($150), but for those who only want the parking benefit without access to the VIP tent, a standalone VIP Parking Pass is available for only $30.

These exclusive tickets sell out fast, so don’t miss your chance to enjoy the festival’s best amenities. For more details VIP Experience, visit our Plan Your Visit webpage.
