**EVENT:** Feel the Heat♨️ • Hear the Blasts🎈 • See the Glow🔥
The Balloon Glow is an experience like no other and is difficult to put to words. 🤩 While waiting for sunset to arrive, grab something to eat from the many food vendors, bring your sippy cup and take in the pre-Glow activities like the walk-in balloon, DJ, and dancers.
A half-hour before sunset (about 7 pm) the balloon area of the field starts to buzz with activity as pilots and their crews inflate their envelopes. Once all the balloons are inflated and the go signal is given, it is your chance to get up close and personal to the balloons.
Wander under the gentle giants, feeling the heat and hearing the blasts from the flaring burners as the balloons light up against the dark sky. The sights, the sound, the heat, the crowd come together in a magical evening.
