The annual Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival will get off the ground again on Friday, Jan. 28 through Sunday, Jan. 30. The event is hosted by Mesquite Gaming, owner of Casablanca Resort and Virgin River Hotel.
Each morning, more than 35 hot air balloons will rise into the desert skies. Each evening the hot air balloons will launch for the very popular Night Glow – Candlestick Show.
“The Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival is back as one of the most beautiful and fun events in Mesquite each year,” said Christian Adderson, Assistant General Manager for Mesquite Gaming. “Volunteers have the unique opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at balloon piloting and participate in what will be the largest Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival yet.”
Volunteers are essential to the successful operation of the event and are needed for all three days of the festival. Shifts can be booked for either Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
