The New York State Festival of Balloons or NYSFOB is a balloon festival held annually Labor Day weekend at Dansville Municipal Airport in Dansville, NY. In 1997 the Dansville Festival of Balloons was changed to the New York State Festival of Balloons after moving from Babcock Park in the Village to the Plaza to make more room for more attending balloons. The Festival has an estimated 50 balloons in attendance each year which include five special shape balloons. Regular apperances at the New York State Festival of Balloons include the Flying Purple People Eater and previously Pokey the Turtle which attended the festival until 2017. The festival offers balloon rides for the am and pm flights which cost around 100 dollars. The traditional balloon glow held on Thursday night was first held on Dansville's Mail Street, then behind the Dansville High School, then at Brea Burn Golf Course, and beginning in 2019 at the Dansvillre Municipal Airport.
