The true test of someone’s status as a local is whether or not he or she can correctly pronounce “Sequim.” No matter how you utter it, it’s a beautiful sight to see. This charming community on the Olympic Peninsula is fortunate enough to receive less rainfall than any other city in Washington State. Couple that with acres of wide-open, lush farmland and you’ve got the perfect place to host a hot air balloon extravaganza. On Labor Day weekend, that’s exactly what will happen! Grab today’s deal for a 3-day pass to the Sequim Balloon Festival for half price, just $14. As you’d guess, the festival celebrates the impressive art and craftsmanship of hot air ballooning – some are over 9 stories high! There will be an appearance by “The Little Bees” which are the world’s only tandem-flying, specially-shaped hot air balloons.  They dance, hug and kiss their way across the sky and have thrilled spectators of all ages at balloon festivals all over the world. Saturday and Sunday night will feature a Balloon Glow which will breathtakingly highlight the beauty of the balloons as they are illuminated over a reflection pond the size of a football field for photographic beauty. The weekend-long party also includes: live musical performances from over 17 different acts, a Classic Car & Hot Rod Show, dancing, hikes through nearby picturesque trails, a kid’s play area with clowns, balloon animals, magicians and more as well as a food court and a wine & beer garden. There’s no better way to unwind with the family before the kids begrudgingly get shipped back to school after the long weekend.
