Capture a magical moment at the 2025 Colorado Springs Labor Day Lift Off, Saturday August 30 through Monday, September 1, at Memorial Park at 1605 E. Pikes Peak Ave.
The state’s largest hot air balloon festival promises to be an uplifting experience. It’s free! It’s fun! It’s family-friendly … and, perhaps best of all, it offers photographers of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to photograph and enter the Labor Day Lift Off Official Photo Contest, sponsored by Mike’s Camera.
Put the focus on early morning launches each day at 7 a.m. and evening balloon glows at 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The Colorado landscape will present a one-of-a-kind opportunity to snap a one-of-a-kind image that could win you:
- A hot air balloon ride for two
- A Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Instant Film Camera from Mike’s Camera
- A $50 Amazon Gift Card
