Join us for a magical day in charming Wellsville, NY, highlighted by one of the region’s most colorful summer traditions—the Wellsville Balloon Rally! We’ll begin our adventure with a delicious early buffet dinner at the Wellsville Country Club, where you’ll enjoy a relaxed meal in an elegant setting before the evening excitement begins. After dinner, we head to the Balloon Rally grounds to watch dozens of vibrant hot air balloons inflate and lift gracefully into the sky (weather permitting). Stroll the festival area, soak in the festive atmosphere, enjoy live entertainment, food vendors, and unique craft booths, and don’t forget your camera—this is a picture-perfect event! As dusk approaches, the balloons glow against the evening sky, creating a truly unforgettable experience. This delightful day trip blends great food, small-town charm, and one of New York’s most beloved summer spectacles—sit back, relax, and let us handle the details.
