Colorado Springs Labor Day Lift Off
Colorado Springs’ Labor Day Lift Off is a free event at Memorial Park. The calendar records its 5–7 September 2026 edition.
Memorial Park, at 1605 East Pikes Peak Avenue, is the festival venue. The organiser’s FAQ confirms free general admission and includes the music programme in that access. A passenger flight, parking or a premium viewing area can involve separate arrangements.
For the 2026 programme, balloons were expected during the morning launch period, with evening glows on Saturday and Sunday. They are not on display in the air all day. A glow lights envelopes on the ground, and all balloon sessions remain subject to weather.
Visitors may bring chairs or blankets, while keeping sightlines and access clear for others. Read the current visitor guidance for parking and any assistance you need; the FAQ does not offer wheelchair rental. No 2027 dates were established during this review, so the retained September dates should be read as a completed edition.
