Balloon Festival Triathalon Postponed
The Committee has decided to postpone the L/A Adventure Race until next year's festival so that we have more time for planning. The First Annual Balloon Festival Triathlon will take place during the 2011 Balloon Festival (Sunday, August 21, 2011).

About The Festival
The Great Falls Balloon Festival was started in 1992 by a group of civic-minded individuals who saw a need for a community event that would enable various local non-profit groups to raise awareness to their cause, while raising money and promoting the Lewiston-Auburn area (L/A East as it is known locally) as a tourist destination. Located on the banks of the beautiful Androscoggin River, the Festival quickly became a huge success, attracting crowds of approximately 100,000 visitors annually.
