Stella's Take to the Skies at the National Balloon Classic, Indianola, Iowa

The Stella's are taking to the skies at the National Balloon Classic! Held in Indianola, Iowa July 31st to August 8th, 2026, this hot air balloon “race” is based on flying accuracy and skill rather than speed. Pilots compete in several tasks; points are calculated throughout the week to determine the overall North Central Regional Championship, the State Championship, and the highly coveted National Balloon Classic Champion. You can even observe the race from a balloon! We will be staying at the Crow's Nest RV Resort nearby. Stay Tuned for more information regarding reservations and event tickets.
