Hot air balloons will fill the sky over Muskogee’s Hatbox Field this August during the Oklahoma Festival of Ballooning. This magical event will feature tethered balloon rides, balloon glows after dark and hot air balloon rides as contestants compete for the Oklahoma Hot Air Balloon Championship Governor’s Trophy.
