Temecula, CA –The most talked about and well-known community Festival in the Temecula Valley is set to kick off an incredible weekend on May 19-21, 2023, and will celebrate its 40th Anniversary. This year’s festival will feature a gorgeous Pala Casino hot air balloon that offers a unique and heartfelt story to go along with it. Through a relationship that was fostered during last year’s Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival, Pala Casino graciously donated the funds to Reach for the Stars Hot Air Balloon Foundation for a second handicapped accessible hot air balloon. The new balloon, referred to as ‘Pala Spirit’, is a 120,000 cubic foot balloon featuring the Pala Casino logo. This six-person basket is custom made with a viewing window and VIP chair for any person that cannot stand for the duration of a balloon flight. The ‘Pala Spirit’ balloon has been spotted flying over the Temecula Valley and the most recent flight was on April 5, with passengers Sam and Jill from England. It had always been Sam’s dream to take a ride in a hot air balloon, but being in a wheelchair, the options were limited. Sam’s family contacted Reach For the Stars and arranged a sunrise flight, making Sam’s dream come true. Lasting memories were certainly made that day. Alongside the ‘Pala Spirit’ balloon, nearly 30 additional hot air balloons will take flight into the blue skies overlooking Lake Skinner and the beautiful Temecula Valley during the exciting 3-day Festival.
