About This Tour
A Sky Full of Magic - There is nothing quite like the awe-inspiring moment when dozens of balloons begin to inflate and lift off simultaneously. Our Senior Friendly itinerary is perfectly timed so you don’t miss a beat. Staying at the comfortable LaQuinta Inn & Suites, located just minutes from the festival grounds, we provide multiple opportunities to catch the action. Whether you are an early riser eager for the morning lift-offs or prefer the glowing beauty of the Saturday evening launch, the choice is yours!
Art, Elegance, and the Open Water - The excitement begins before we even reach the lake! Our first stop is the world-renowned Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA. You’ll marvel at the world’s largest collection of original Rockwell art, including the iconic Four Freedoms. Afterward, enjoy a charming stroll and lunch on your own in historic downtown Stockbridge.
To cap off a perfect day, we’ll take to the water for a Lake George Dinner Cruise aboard the elegant Lac Du Sacrement. Savor a delicious meal and live on-board entertainment while drifting past the majestic mountain scenery that makes this region famous.
Explore at Your Own Pace - We believe the best trips offer a mix of planned highlights and personal discovery. You’ll enjoy plenty of Free Time in Lake George to explore the vibrant downtown area, browse the numerous premium outlet shops, or enjoy the festival’s many craft vendors and live music.
