The Quechee Balloon Festival, recognized as New England’s long-standing balloon spectacle, is receiving a boost through a $10,000 sponsorship from Vermont Construction's Roofing Division. This partnership reflects the company's dedication to supporting community traditions and events that bring residents and visitors together.

Celebrating its 45th anniversary, the Quechee Balloon Festival draws thousands in June, presenting balloon launches, entertainment, craft beers, artists, and family activities. Vermont Construction’s contribution aims to sustain the event's success and enrich the festival experience for attendees.

Scheduled for June 20–22 at the Quechee Green, the Quechee Balloon Festival remains a significant summer event in the Upper Valley region.
