Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival
Temecula, CA
Ticketed; kids 12 and under free with a ticketed adult
By Simir Shah
The valley's big balloon festival actually takes place at Lake Skinner Recreation Area in Winchester, about 20 minutes east of Old Town. Balloon glows happen at sunset on Friday and Saturday, and dawn balloon launches can be booked separately. All ages are allowed, but it's also a wine-and-concert event, so plan the day around the balloons.
