Old Pueblo Balloon Classic

There was a hot air balloon festival in Tucson called the Old Pueblo Balloon Classic. This event was held from 1984 to 1993. It was cancelled in 1994 because there was no place available to hold it. The Old Pueblo Balloon Classic occurred in vacant areas around the Midvale Park area of Tucson.
