The Arizona Balloon Classic is celebrating its 5th Anniversary and we invite you to be a part of it. Come visit Phoenix, Arizona to enjoy the December weather (NO SNOW), the holiday season and the beautiful sunrises & sunsets. Rumor has it, Santa has put our event on his calendar for a quick stopover. The ABC5 is open to the first 50 balloons. Attracting close to 20,000 visitors, the ABC5 is a fund raising event to raise funds for the Arizona State University Student Scholarship Fund and a GIANT food drive for the local food banks during the holidays. The ABC5 will also include plenty of family activities, retail vending, International food court from eight countries, fireworks, “Hare & Hound” races with over $2,500 in prize money, “Desert Glows”, live entertainment and more.
