Murray
Take a tethered balloon ride
Rise above the field for a 10–15 minute experience each festival morning. Advance tickets are available now.
Most people think Magic Over Murray is about hot air balloons. They're only part of the story.
It was created to help people discover the magic that has always been here — to give families a reason to gather, to celebrate flight and community, and to remind us that wonder still exists.
