SUMMARY:Cathedral City International Hot Air Balloon Festival
DESCRIPTION:Cathedral City Community Amphitheater\, 68700 Avenue Lalhambra. November 20-22\, 2026. The Cathedral City International Hot Air Balloon Festival floats into the Coachella Valley for three days — the desert floor\, the winter sky\, and hundreds of balloons rising together in the specific hour before dawn when the air is still and the light hasn't decided what color it is yet.\n\nThe mass ascension is the event. When every balloon on the field is inflating simultaneously — the burners\, the color\, the gradual lifting\, the moment when they're all airborne at once over the desert floor — there is nothing else like it in Southern California. The Coachella Valley in November sits in the exact temperature range where standing outside at dawn is not a hardship but a reward.\n\nThe festival runs three days across the November weekend — morning flights\, evening glow events where the balloons illuminate from inside against the dark desert sky\, live entertainment\, and vendors. cchotairballoonfest.com for tickets and the schedule. The balloon glow on Friday and Saturday evenings is the event people don't expect to be the highlight and consistently is. Come early for the morning ascension. Stay for the glow.
