MASSIVE HOT AIR BALLOON LAUNCH!! - Preparation & Take Off - Hot Air Balloon Festival!

This is Hudson Wisconsin's Hot Air Affair Festival. This year they launched over 30 Hot Air Balloons almost at the same time!
Hot Air Balloon Festival.
Hot Air Balloon Inflation.
It was a huge hot air balloon launch.
Pirate Hot Air Balloon,
Parrot Hot Air Balloon, Monster Hot Air Balloon, Rubber Ducky Hot Air Balloons, Uncle Sam Hot Air Balloon, and many many more.
The Hudson Hot Air Affair is the premier winter ballooning event and winter festival in the Midwest. Thousands of visitors head to the St. Croix Valley community in west central Wisconsin and local residents make it a homecoming every year, usually on the first full weekend in February. About 35 colorful hot air balloons, including special shaped balloons, launch in mass ascensions Saturday and Sunday mornings and light up the night at the Saturday evening Moon Glow or Field of Fire. Balloonists traditionally attend from Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska.
Over the years, the event has seen aeronauts from New Mexico, California, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio, Michigan and Missouri. A full schedule of fun, winter events throughout the Hudson community bring delight to residents and visitors alike. Where else could you find a costumed torchlight parade, marching kazoo bands, smooshboarding, and hot air balloons all on the same weekend? Founded in 1990 through the Hudson Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau, the festival is currently sponsored by Hudson Hot Air Affair Inc., a non-profit volunteer community organization.

[@zimmy202]

Great video, Matt! I was there videoing and photographing this event also. There is way to much going on to cover. 35 balloons launching on a cold crisp morning is the real deal!

[@MattsRadShow]

I know. I didnt know where to point the camera half the time. So much going on at once. Lol

[@herbm8709]

Congrats on the 10,000. Keep on going Matt, another great video!

[@nintendolunchbox]

The Uncle Sam balloon reminded me of the blow up auto pilot in the movie Airplane.

[@MattsRadShow]

LOL.

[@matthgmdude1]

You were in my home town! I wish I would have known, I would have been thrilled to meet you in person. The balloons would usually fly over my house just before they land and some have landed in my yard in previous years (it's very cool to watch). But the wind wasn't in the right direction this time. Looks like they were going towards Minnesota.

[@MattsRadShow]

Thats awesome man!

[@helenhighwater2254]

Needs more Matt's Rad Kid...

[@MattsRadShow]

Haha. Agreed.

[@dustysadventures]

As hot as the flames are on the balloons, I’m surprised there wasn’t more melted snow. But I guess it’s just so cold there, it doesn’t matter. Congrats on 10K! Well deserved!

[@trax3d]

Hey man, congrats on 10K subs!! Looking forward to where you'll take us next!
