Where Wonder Takes Flight
Magic Over Murray returns September 18–20, 2026 at Cottonwood High School and Murray Park! Join us for a weekend-long festival celebrating Murray, the new heights our city is soaring to, and getting back to good old-fashioned community fun.
Nothing will prepare you for the skies full of colorful hot air balloons! You can also expect a DJ, bounce houses, STEM activities, tethered balloon rides, food trucks, and so much more.
This event has something for the whole family — from Friday's sunrise balloon launch through Saturday's spectacular Nightglow at Murray Park to Sunday's grand finale ascension.
Watch 14 colorful hot air balloons fill the morning sky during three sunrise mass ascensions at Cottonwood High School.
The highlight of the festival — balloons glow like giant lanterns against the night sky at Murray Park.
A DJ and performers on the main stage at Murray Park all Saturday evening, keeping the energy going until the Nightglow.
Hands-on science, tech, engineering, and math fun for kids and families, presented by Murray Parks & Recreation.
