This year marks the fortieth anniversary of Balloon Fiesta
and the first time I’ve been to a Balloon Glow since high school.
Hundreds of balloons inflate
and blast their burners all at once
for a spectacular light show.
What’s a local event unique to your community?
That looks absolutely beautiful, Caroline! I would love to experience something like it. 🙂
You know when I saw this on the news this weekend, I thought about you and wondered if you were there! 🙂
I went up on my first balloon ride this year and it was SO AMAZING! We have a balloon festival here, but it’s no where as big.
The town where I grew up has a Whale Festival every October!
Karen, we were indeed!
Jade, I have to know more about that whale festival.
How neat! My son would LOVE that Spiderman balloon I spotted in the background there. We love our little balloon festival here, but yours looks VERY cool. Someday when we’re rich, we’ll have to come down for it. 🙂

I went to this about 15 years ago. It’s such a cool event! Freezing in those early morning hours, but so much more exciting than you would think.
I saw this on the news, too. It looks so cool! I can’t even imagine how spectacular it is in person.
Anna, it’s just amazing. You feel like a child in wonderland.
