This event was voted a 2016 Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 Event.

Booking and Festival Manager Necie Brown is excited to introduce some new acts and optical elements to this already highly visual event.

The beautiful thing about Owl-O-Ween is its breathtaking uniqueness. There is truly nothing else like it. Not only does this festival feature performances, occurring simultaneously across multiple vignettes, but guests will be constantly entertained by more than 100 roving performers, many of which have local Atlanta roots.

The balloons come to life October 21st and 22nd, and will ring in yet another crisp and cozy fall season to the Kennesaw area. Roaming performers, evening balloon glows, tethered balloon rides, some of Atlanta’s top food vendors, artists alley, beer garden, and trick-or-treating at over 20 hot air balloons are just a few of the returning fan favorites.
