Come to Maine in August during the Great Falls Hot Air Balloon Festival! It’s a great time. I attend every year. I’ve been to the morning and evening launches when the balloons take off for flight. It’s so magical. The festival takes place in Lewiston and Auburn along the banks of the Androscoggin River.
There is a lot of entertainment including live music, a carnival, food, art, activities, photo opportunities, and more. You can learn more about the festival, and this year’s dates, at GreatFallsBalloonFestival.org/.
If you’re traveling to the Lewiston-Auburn area from away and are looking for a place to stay and the hotels are booked up, try an AirBnB! You can use the Airbnb site to find lodging or to offer your home/apartment/room for short-term rentals.
