Kinsmen Cornwall Lift-Off
This annual hot air balloon festival is hosted in Cornwell each year in the middle of Juloy over a fun-filled weekend. All the events take place in Cornwall's Lamoureux Park located on the St. Lawrence River.
Cornwall Lift-Off was founded in 1994 and has since hosted back-to-back Canadian National Hot Air Balloon Championships in 1996 and 1997. The success of our festival has grown considerably from their modest beginnings in 1994.
Event organizers anticipate the arrival of 15 majestic hot air balloons. In addition to the balloon roster, there is also an impressive list of musical groups that will perform on the stage. A long standing tradition of Kinsmen Cornwall Lift-Off is the opportunity for the public to take a Hot Air Balloon flight from the park, for a fee.
