I'm sorry I missed this question when it was posted because I actually did find a listing of launch sites in the Poughkeepsie Journal. If nothing else, perhaps they'll be the same next summer.

You can check that out here: http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/article/20120706/LIFE/307060068/balloon-festival-hudson-valley

All the launch sites appear to be on the western side of Dutchess. I remember being a kid and getting up at 6am to watch the balloons overheard, but that was when they launched at the airport near me. It's good fun.

At 6 AM both Saturday July 7 and Sunday July 8, you can watch the balloons from Walkway Over the Hudson (87 Haviland Rd., Highland), as well as numerous other sites.
You can see the evening launches — 6 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday — from Waryas Park on Main St. in Poughkeepsie. There are refreshments and activities as well.
And here is Balloon Festival information number: 845 505 - 4688.
