Northwest Art and Air Festival
The Northwest Art & Air Festival is a truly unique summer celebration in the heart of Albany. Each morning (weather permitting), colorful hot air balloons lift off from Timber-Linn Park, drifting gracefully over the area. On Friday evening, balloonists fire up their burners for the spectacular Night Glow, lighting up the park with a vibrant display of color.
Throughout the weekend, artists line the grassy meadows with a wide variety of artwork, while food vendors, a Family Zone, live stage performances, a car show, and beer, wine, and cider gardens offer something for everyone to enjoy. Saturday night, don’t miss the live concert in the amphitheater for an unforgettable festival finale.
