Our Mission Statement: The mission of this organization is to promote hot air ballooning in Battle Creek and educate local youth and citizens about the science and spirit of ballooning through on-site visits to local schools and balloon events held in December. The organization shall not be used to promote any private or public organization or business with out permission of the Board of Directors of the HBF, Inc.
Our History: Holiday Balloon Fest began in 1998 at Kellogg's
Cereal City USA in Battle Creek. The fest has grown from having only 13
pilots that first year to over 70 Hot Air Balloonists in 2008. In 2009 HBF hosted the Balloon Federation of America US National Championships.

Balloonist Education: Balloonist and crew have visited local area
elementary schools. We have entertained the youths, as well as shown them how they can become involved
in all the action and fun that balloonists enjoy.

Brunch concluding the 2004 event.
