The annual Sunflower Balloon Festival in Anthony, Kansas, is happening this May. Admission is FREE, and they have fun activities planned for everyone.

The 2026 Sunflower Balloon Festival is a three-day event, May 15-17, 2026, and always includes tons of fun activities, like hot air balloon rides, a parade, helicopter rides, a kite festival, car show, and more. Most of the balloon-related activities will be held at the Anthony Municipal Airport, but they’ll also have lots of fun activities and things to do in the town of Anthony, Kansas, during the festival.
Details for this year are still in the process of being communicated. Check out the Anthony, KS Chamber Facebook page for more info and for any weather-related changes.
Just a heads-up, that all Chamber activities i.e. balloon rides, tether rides, and t-shirt sales are going to be CASH only.
