Our evening Balloon Glow at Zearing Park will be a spectacular event!
On Friday and Saturday nights right after sunset, approximately from 7:30 - 9PM, eight hot air balloons will light up the sky as they are inflated to float stationery at Zearing Park.

What to expect
- Rides are approximately 5 minutes long and can hold between 4 – 6 people (depending on weight).
- The tethered rides are wheelchair accessible! There are very few balloon baskets in the US with a door. Climbing into a basket is not a problem for many people, but for some it may seem impossible. For those with knee problems, or those using a cane, walker or wheelchair, we are offering balloons with Easy Access Baskets that make entering the basket easy. Our goal is to include anyone who wants to experience a balloon ride!! Our baskets also have a clear door, so those in wheelchairs and kids can see out with no problem!
- It does get noisy in the balloons so please be prepared for that if bringing younger children who may be afraid of loud noises.
- All riders need to sign a waiver. Waivers will be available in-person prior to the ride and are required prior to the flight.
- Some tickets will be available to purchase at the event.
- Please note that all ticket sales are non-refundable, even in the event of cancellation caused by inclement weather conditions.
