Where has the time gone? Balloonfest is officially one month away! With the balloons, carnival, great food, shopping, a scavenger hunt and our new Balloon & Brews event there is so much to look forward to. We’re excited and hope you are too! 

Our Balloonfest Committee is currently accepting application for the Open-Air Market and Food Court at this year’s Michigan Challenge Balloonfest. This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase your unique artistry, creativity and/or deliciousness to an eager audience at an event that draws crowds from all over the state and country. This is truly a community of artisans, crafters and cash/carry entrepreneurs who greet thousands of customers and enjoy the amazing sights of the beautiful balloons and entertainers throughout the weekend. Richard Lim and Brian Adams share more details below.

If you’re looking for vendor space or know of anyone looking to participate in events and festivals this summer, I invite you to visit MichiganChallenge.com and click under forms to download an application for the Open-Air Market or Food Vendor form to register your business or food truck today. For more information please call the Chamber office at (517) 546-3920 or email at [email protected].

Richard (Richard Lim Photography) & Brian (Lake Trust Credit Union), Co-Chairs of this year's Michigan Challenge Balloonfest Committee, join us in the studio to chat about how they got involved, how to become a festival vendor, timing of the balloon launches and more!

Now is the time to get involved with the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest! We're looking for open air market vendors, food vendors, sponsors and more! Click the links below for details.
