To remember our fallen military Heroes throughout the weekend in a real and deserving way via a safe and family-oriented event by creating a spirit of honor centered on Faith, Patriotism, Perseverance, Service, and Celebration.

The First Fruits Farm Memorial Balloon Festival is produced by NC Memorial Balloon Festival, LLC. Our goal is to keep people focused on the true meaning of Memorial Day - by remembering those who sacrificed everything through Military service. We have a passion for serving others through various other organizations that serve those veterans, their families, and others in need. The Mission of First Fruits Farms is also at the core of our existence, and we will continue to assist that organization in helping the hungry and food insecure in our community.
