Traffic pattern for Balloons Over 66
[August 25, 2026]
On August 28thand 29th, 2026,
the City of Lincoln will enjoy hosting thousands of visitors and
spectators for the annual Balloons Over 66 festival. Other
activities over the weekend include the Up in Smoke BBQ competition,
Dock Dogs and Rail Splitter Festival.
This year will be the third year that the night glows and other
activities will be held at the Open Arms Church Campus at 1321
Illinois Route 10 in Lincoln, Illinois.
In order to accommodate the higher levels of traffic, all visitors
entering Open Arms will be directed to enter the event on Campus
View Drive by turning south off of Keokuk/Illinois Route 10. All
visitors exiting Open Arms will be directed to use Chapel Road to
access Illinois Route 10, both east and west. Balloon crews will
have a designated entrance and exit.
Please follow signage directing visitors where to enter and exit
instead of following your GPS directions.
