The Flying Circus is one of the oldest continuous air shows in the nation, starting in 1971. This Saturday and Sunday, on Sept. 20 and 21, the Flying Circus Annual Hot Air Balloon Festival in Bealeton, Virginia, is inviting the public to soar near the clouds with hot air balloon rides.

The event is dependent on good weather and runs early, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., and late in the afternoon, from 6 to 8 p.m. Gates open at 6 a.m. Attendees have the option for tethered balloon rides, priced at $20 per adult and $10 per kid, or $300 per person for free-flight balloon rides.

John King, a member of Flying Circus, said that around 15 hot air balloons are registered for the event, but that doesn’t necessarily mean all of them will fly at the same time, as that’s dependent on the weather.
