What to Expect at Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Music Festival

Later this month, catch the Temecula Valley Ballon & Wine Music Festival. While some summer fests may be only dedicated to balloons, wine or music, this event captures all three, with three days of fun, June 20–22, in Southern California.

As for the music, this year’s headliners include Alabama, Cody Jinks, Walker Hayes, Big & Rich with Gretchen Wilson and more. Area wineries will offer wine tastings, a beer garden and gourmet food options will be on site, and balloon launches will take place over the event.

“The Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival is one of the region’s longest-running festivals and has been a longstanding cornerstone of Southern California’s vibrant cultural landscape. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of its continued growth,” described Stephen Partridge, president, co-founder and COO of festival organizer Event.com. “With this phenomenal lineup of performers, breathtaking balloon displays, fantastic food and beverage options, and a host of fun activities, the 2025 festival is shaping up to be one for the books, promising an epic family adventure or an unforgettable getaway with friends.”

On-site camping will be available, but local hotel packages are also offered to festival attendees. A range of ticket options are available, from the $99 one-day general access ticket, to the $5,000 V.I.P., three-day experience that includes a private tent and entry for four.
