Tucked between Palm Springs and the scenic Coachella Valley, Cathedral City is a sun-drenched desert gem with vintage California charm. Palm-lined streets, colorful art, classic cars, and breathtaking mountain backdrops make it the perfect place to celebrate. Come for the balloons and music—stay for the endless desert skies and warm welcome.

Whether you’re a balloon pilot, vendor, volunteer, or sponsor — there are plenty of ways to be part of the 2025 Cathedral City Hot Air Balloon Festival!
