Visit Us for the 2025 Great Prosser Balloon Rally
This September 26–28, 2025, hot air balloons will rise over Prosser, Washington for the Great Prosser Balloon Rally. Launching in front of Chukar Cherries' headquarters, we offer a great gathering place with some of the best views! This year we open early at 7 am on Friday and will have in-store specials and tastings all weekend.
See the Balloon Rally from Chukar Headquarters
Our flagship store sits beside the Prosser Airport, where balloons lift at sunrise and drift overhead before gliding toward the Yakima River. From our location you can hear the crowd’s cheers and and see the balloons on their trajectory.
We invite you to make Chukar your starting point for the weekend: watch the early-morning flights and grab some cherry snacks to enjoy during the Prosser Harvest Festival.
Chukar Hours for Rally Weekend
We’re opening early at 7:00 a.m. and closing at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Our address is 320 Wine Country Road, Prosser, WA 99350.
Photo Op: Mini Balloon at Chukar
This year a mini hot air balloon will be parked outside Chukar Cherries for a fun, family-friendly photo opportunity. Snap a picture with the balloon and our iconic cherry sign!
