Make Sussex KOA your base camp for one of Southern New Brunswick’s most iconic events—the Atlantic Balloon Fiesta! Feel the excitement as 30ish hot air balloonists from around the world take to the skies, with sometimes balloons even landing right here at our campground or at our sister site, the Sussex Drive-In. From Wednesday to Sunday, the magic happens twice a day: breathtaking early-morning launches around 7 AM and enchanting evening flights at 6 PM. And with the festival launch field only 2 km away, you couldn’t be closer to the action!
