The Howell Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the 38th Annual Michigan Challenge Balloonfest on June 23, 24, and 25th, a community event that has been enjoyed by families throughout the state for decades.
The Michigan Challenge Balloonfest will be at Howell Highschool, complete with carnival rides, family entertainment, food vendors, the open air marketplace and everything you have always enjoyed about Balloonfest. There may even be some new surprises!
We are in the process of building the list of events and will update here when it becomes available. Activities taking place in downtown Howell throughout the weekend can be found on Michiganchallange.com. There is something for everyone to enjoy!
The Howell Area Chamber of Commerce extends a huge thank you to our sponsors, pilots, committee members, and community partners for their support, making the return of the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest possible.
