Micro-Holidays Guide
Spring Balloon Festival
The Spring Balloon Festival is one of several micro-holidays in World of Warcraft. These small events last only for a day or two each year and pay tribute to a different part of Azeroth's culture, with the Spring Balloon Festival paying homage to the Pandaren.
When logging in, there will be several red X's marked on your World Map, indicating a place you can ride in a hot air balloon! Each hot air balloon has a unique name based on either the NPC or zone the balloon is hosted in.
To ride in a hot air balloon, head to a red X and talk with the NPC. Riding in a hot air balloon requires 3 players. Once there are three players, the balloon will take off. Each NPC will talk with the players during the ride. Players can exit the hot air balloon at any time by pressing the dismount button.
Spring Balloon Locations
The following table details the locations of each balloon throughout Azeroth, along with each NPC steering the balloons. Each balloon ride lasts roughly 4 minutes.
