The event will be held from July 2 to 4 in Leeton shire and organisers have made sure there are activities for residents and visitors of all ages.
Leeton Shire Council general manager Jackie Kruger said the festival would be a great celebration for the community to partake in and have fun.
"There really is something for everyone," Mrs Kruger said.
Hot air balloon rides will be on offer all weekend from Picture this Ballooning, with one hour scenic flights departing from 4am if you are an early riser wanting to see the sunrise from above. But of course, as residents would know, watching from the ground is also just as fun.

There will also be variety of children's workshops where they can learn to dance the iconic Charleston from the 1920s and pick up a range of new skills inside a circus tent that will be travelling all the way from Adelaide for the weekend.
The fun doesn't stop there with the hands on Tutankhamun Roadshow running all weekend long.
Visitors will be able to view and handle objects made thousands of years ago, just like Howard Carter did when he unearthed Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.
Event organiser Suesann Vos said the roadshow was an excellent addition to the festival, especially for local students.
"This exhibition is a unique opportunity for regional and remote students and the feedback from the last time we had this roadshow in Leeton was wonderful and shows how highly valued it is," she said.
If none of that tickles your fancy, a family fun festival will be running on Saturday, July 3 from 10am to 1pm which will see the Gatsby Girls perform, a thrilling soap box derby, camel rides, vintage market stalls and more.
For those wanting to get involved in the derby, they are encouraged to email artdeco@leeton.nsw.gov.au now to be prepared.
Attendees will now also be able to redeem their Dine and Discover vouchers at any ticketed event.
