‘The Happiest Balloon on Earth’ Flies for Record-Breaking Crowd at Leon International Balloon Festival
11th annual León International Balloon Festival is a four-day event, from November 16-19, filled with great music, lots of fantastic food, Mickey Mouse, our favorite balloon – “The Happiest Balloon on Earth” – and around two hundred other hot air balloons. Our friend Mickey Mouse was there on opening day to help kick off this wonderful event, which broke previous attendance records with 350,000 spectators – and that’s not counting the tens of thousands that watched from outside the Festival grounds over the four days.
