This year’s music under the stars will feature world-renowned country artist Martina McBride.
The Cancer Association of Anderson’s Hot Air Affair: Rising Above Cancer event will kick off Celebrate Anderson – Labor Day Weekend spectacularly.
Anderson County officials say they are excited to partner with the Cancer Association’s ballooning event, establishing the Celebrate Anderson Weekend and solidifying Anderson County’s reputation as the Labor Day Destination!
“Anderson County is appreciative of its partners and Michelin, Arthrex and many sponsors for joining with the county in giving back to the local community by funding and to the Cancer Association of Anderson as they provide assistance to many Andersonians through a life-changing experience,” said Anderson County Council Chairman Tommy Dunn. “There’s no need to look further for something to do this Labor Day Weekend; it’s right here in Anderson County.”
The Cancer Association of Anderson is proud to bring the 2023 HOT AIR AFFAIR: RISING ABOVE CANCER to the Anderson Sports & Entertainment Complex during this upcoming Labor Day Weekend! Once again, skies above Anderson County will be filled with beautiful hot air balloons. Mark your calendar for Labor Day Weekend, Sep 1st – 4th! This signature event benefits the Cancer Association of Anderson, the only LOCAL cancer charity in Anderson County.
Join our Hot Air Affair sponsors Anderson County, Blossman Gas & Appliance, AnMed Health, The People’s Bank, and many others as we join with Anderson County’s Celebrate Anderson to bring together more than twenty-five hot air balloons and a Labor Day Weekend filled with Family Fun and entertainment!
According to Cancer Association Director Angela Stringer, “We look forward to welcoming our balloon pilots to the skies over Anderson County every year! The opportunity to join with Celebrate Anderson to provide a FREE event that raises funds and awareness for our brave patients and survivors makes it even more exciting! The fabulous Combo Kings will be performing on the Balloon Stage as well as other local talent. Please come out and join us for a family-friendly weekend with hot air balloons, kids-zone, food trucks, vendors, and much, much more.”
