It happened at the Hannibal Bicentennial Celebration when an "experienced balloonist" tried to land, KHQA-TV reported.
He ended up smashing into several spectators, bouncing off the ground and grazing a tree before bringing the balloon under control.
A young girl suffered minor injuries.
"Thankfully, there were no serious injuries, and the event continued," the festival committee said in a statement, CNN reported.
