Memorial Day Hot Air Balloon Ride

Ever wanted to ride in a hot air balloon? This Memorial Day, before you head to the parade, come take a ride and support local charities with RE/MAX Heritage and First Church Congregational.

Hot air balloons are romantic, fascinating, and fun! RE/MAX Heritage is offering rides in a RE/MAX hot air balloon at First Church of Fairfield to raise money for First Church outreach programs. Take in the morning view along the CT coast and feel the breeze as you participate in the oldest form of human flight. Bring the family, bring your sweetheart, and bring your camera to capture the spectacular views. Be there by 7:00am if you want to see the balloon being set up - it’s quite the sight to see!

Donations can be made ahead of time through Eventbrite. Recommended donation is $20 per person. Up to four people can ride at a time. There is no age restriction, but children should be accompanied by an adult. Rides are scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis from 8am to 10am. While every effort will be made to ensure each donor receives their opportunity to fly, weather conditions can change quickly. The safety of all riders is our first priority, and our licensed hot air balloon pilot will have final say on all flights.

Proceeds will benefit Habitat for Humanity, Mercy Learning Center, Operation Hope, and CIRI (CT Institute for Refugees & Immigrants). We hope you will join us for this fantastic Memorial Day event, help support these worthy causes, and enjoy a ride to remember!
