The Sky’s the Limit

There's something almost magical about a hot air balloon. The Sikeston Hot Air Balloon Festival brings this magic to the Jaycee Rodeo Grounds for a fun-filled weekend of balloon glows, tethered balloon rides, a beer and wine garden, and live music.

On December 31, 1997, Steve Fossett took off in a hot air balloon from Busch Stadium on this day. The trip ended a few days later in Russia, establishing a new distance record.
