This tranquil country view will be transformed into a hub of activity by
Friday evening through Sunday morning. Brilliant, billowing hot-air
balloons, arts and crafts booths, food vendors, plenty of fun
activities, and crowds will pack the grounds for the annual Lincoln
Balloon Festival. Activities in the downtown area will feature the
Lincoln Art Fair in Latham Park, the flea market in Scully Park, the Art
of Wine, annual library book sale, a fun park for kids and more on
Saturday and Sunday. Postville Courthouse will be the site of an 1800s
craft fair.
