Hey everyone,
I’m Cindy, and I’ve got something on my bucket list that I would love to share with you!

I’ve always wanted to attend the Plano Hot Air Balloon Festival after years of having the hot air balloons float directly over our backyard in Plano (dogs going crazy). So, this is the year, I'm going to finally make it happen.

Is this experience on your Bucket List too? Well you don’t have to check this off your bucket list solo—come join me, meet new friends, and make some memories together!

I've saw the balloons fly by for years...now I want to see them 🌟 GLOW 🌟... up close.

What’s Happening: Arrive as early as you like to enjoy all the other festival activities. We will gather (exact area TBD) at least 45 minutes before the Glow begins. We'll take a little time to get acquainted and then, the pilots will coordinate an ‘all burns’ where they fire up their burners illuminating their balloons all at once. All the hot air balloons are inflated, and illuminated from within, creating a stunning display as they glow like giant light bulbs against the night sky. I've read it's a MUST SEE at the festival! We can take our photo ops, disperse or hang out some more. The event closes at 10pm.

P.S.
If you're one who attends this festival regularly, any tips on parking, the best place(s) to set up or any other tips to make this experience exceptional, please put it in the comments. Any and all help is welcomed and appreciated.

P.P.S.
If anyone would like to meetup before the event and ride in together...share parking expense...I am open to it...Just message me...let's make a plan.

I can’t wait to meet everyone! 🤞.🤞
