Pahrump Balloon Festival Tips

Arrive early. We arrived about 1/2 hour prior to the start to meet up with friends and we literally took the last parking spot.

Another reason to arrive early is to watch the balloons launch while the weather is cooler and before the winds get too high.

Pahrump Balloon Festival Weather

The Pahrump weather for February can be hit or miss of a sunny cool day to brrrrrrr. Even though we were dressed for cold weather, the 2018 Pahrump Balloon Festival was COLD early in the day and we were constantly in line for the hot chocolate to keep warm. If the weather looks cool, be sure to dress in layers, wear warm socks, hat, and take gloves just in case the morning temperature is a bit brisk.
