The Gila Valley New Year's Balloon Extravaganza has three goals--Bring tourism to the Gila Valley, offer families a FREE, family-friendly way to celebrate New Year's, and educate people about the sport of hot air ballooning. With the generous support of sponsors, we bring 25 majestic hot air balloons to the Gila Valley. 

As a non-profit organization, sponsors can now choose to take a full tax deduction in exchange for their sponsorship or receive passenger flight certificates to fly during the event. Sponsorships include either tax donations or hot air balloon flights over the Gila Valley during the Extravaganza (weather permitting). All sponsorships include media promotions throughout the year including social media, website, and print, and payment options including monthly billing.
