Quechee Balloon Festival
Quechee VT Balloon Festival & Craft Fair
Father's Day Weekend in Quechee, VT
June 19 - 21, 2009
Quechee, Vermont (pronounced kwee-chee), home of the renowned Quechee Gorge, is the quintessential picturesque New England village. The Ottauquechee River cascades over a spectacular waterfall alongside Main Street, which meanders past beautifully unique storefronts and restaurants to the festival site on the expansive Village Green.
Every Father's Day weekend, Quechee becomes a mecca for amateur and professional crafters, musicians, and photographers, as the Annual Quechee Balloon Festival & Craft Fair attracts dozens of balloonists and their brilliantly-colored hot-air balloons to this quaint central Vermont village.
The Quechee Balloon Festival is a family-oriented event with something of interest for all ages. This Annual Father's Day weekend extravaganza has become a family gathering place for reunions, wedding receptions, birthday parties, and anniversary celebrations.
