Jupiter Flights Balloon Festival

Jupiter Flights is a rain-or-shine festival, and most activities (like live music, food trucks, the corn maze, and midway activities) will continue even in light rain. But hot air balloons are very sensitive to weather—even small shifts in wind, temperature,
or moisture can affect safety. That means balloon activities may be delayed, changed, or canceled due to:

• Wind (especially above the trees)
• Rain or storms within range
• Changing conditions in the atmosphere

Even if the skies look clear, balloon pilots and safety crews monitor conditions constantly, and may adjust plans in real time.

If weather prevents a launch, the Glow—a signature part of the Jupiter Flights experience— will still take place if conditions are safe. If winds or weather make even that impossible, we’ll shift to a Twinkle, where baskets and burners create a fiery, up-close experience on the ground.
If severe weather (like lightning or flooding) causes Conner Prairie to cancel the entire evening – including the festival grounds - the value of your ticket may be applied toward:

• Rescheduling to another festival night (based on availability)
• A future ticketed experience at Conner Prairie
• A membership, so you can return year-round!

We do not offer refunds due to weather-related changes, but your ticket value will always
be honored in one of the ways above.
