The Collier County Sheriff's Office warned the public about a fake hot air balloon festival supposedly happening at the Collier County Fair Grounds Saturday.
The event is called Naples Balloon Festival 2025 on Facebook. It claims there would be food trucks, vendors, family activities, and hot air balloons (if weather permits).
According to CCSO, no such event was happening at the fairgrounds and that this "festival" was a hoax/scam.
