This Saturday! February 8th 9 AM
This year’s event will again feature a live ambassador eagle from Liberty Wildlife Rehabilitation facility in Phoenix. Handlers from Liberty will enlighten the crowd with information about eagles.

Our mild winter could provide some great viewing opportunities for the attendees who choose to accompany us to Rainbow Lake to spot eagles in the wild. During our recent board retreat, we spotted six bald eagles flying and fishing over the lake!

Pinetop-Lakeside Announces New Focus for Balloon Festival

PINETOP-LAKESIDE, Ariz. – The Town of Pinetop-Lakeside has announced a change in focus for its signature summer event, the White Mountains Balloon Festival. Beginning this year, the event now will be known as “Pinetop-Lakeside Summer Nights” and will place a larger emphasis on live music, food and retail vendors and family fun. Pinetop-Lakeside Summer Nights will be June 20 and 21, 2025, at Mountain Meadow Recreation Complex, 1101 S. Woodland Road, Lakeside.

Since the balloon festival’s inception in 2018, the balloons have taken flight just 33 percent of the times scheduled. The cancelation of flights has been due to weather factors including unpredictable winds, storms and a forest closure in 2021. The region is experiencing its driest winter on record and event organizers are anticipating the possibility of another forest closure this summer. The U.S. Forest Service has implemented forest closures in the area four times in the last 15 years: 2011, 2014, 2018 and 2021.

“We are excited to pivot from the balloon festival to a music- and food-focused event for the entire family,” said Pinetop-Lakeside Mayor Stephanie Irwin. “The event will now be two days and will feature more bands, more food and retail vendors, a beer garden, and hopefully will still include evening balloon activities. The biggest change with the event is the elimination of morning balloon flights and related activities. With the extremely dry conditions and the strong possibility of a forest closure that would
prevent balloons from flying anyway, we think this is the right time to pivot to a new focus.”

Mayor Irwin emphasized that the evening portion of the event will be very much as it has been in previous years, but with even more bands and vendors. For more information on Summer Nights,
