The Hot Air Affair is more than a hot air balloon festival; it’s a celebration of hope, resilience, and community. Every Labor Day Weekend, thousands gather in Anderson County to experience breathtaking hot air balloons, live entertainment, local vendors, and family-friendly activities, all while supporting local cancer patients and their families through the Cancer Association of Anderson.
What began as a unique fundraising event has grown into one of Anderson County’s most anticipated annual traditions, bringing together survivors, caregivers, volunteers, sponsors, businesses, and community members for a weekend with a purpose.
At its heart, The Hot Air Affair exists for one reason: to support local cancer patients and their families.
Every balloon that rises, every sponsorship secured, every volunteer who gives their time, every vendor who participates, and every guest who attends helps further the mission of the Cancer Association of Anderson.
Together, we celebrate survivors, honor loved ones, and remind those currently facing cancer that they are never alone.
The Cancer Association of Anderson is the only local cancer charity serving Anderson County.
Its mission is to reduce the burden of cancer by providing treatment-related financial assistance, emotional support, guidance, referrals, and practical resources for local patients and their families.
Because the organization serves our local community, support from The Hot Air Affair stays close to home, helping neighbors, friends, coworkers, and loved ones receive assistance when they need it most.
As The Hot Air Affair continues to grow, so does its impact.
With every new partnership, sponsorship, volunteer, and attendee, we’re able to further the mission of the Cancer Association of Anderson and continue building a tradition our community can be proud of.
