Weather permitting, Hot Air Balloon Glow & Tethered Rides available. Experience these magical giants up close. A Night Glow is a gathering of hot air balloons that inflate at night. Hot Air Balloons are EXTREMELY weather contingent and may be grounded for safety or weather, therefore come prepared to enjoy the entire festival (including live music, polo etc. later in the day) with or without the balloons. The organizers will do their best to activate hot air balloons. ALL the pilots and crews are on site during specified times, but please understand the organizers cannot control Mother Nature nor can or should they tether or launch balloons in dangerous conditions. Should we need to cancel tethered rides due to safety, there are no refunds, instead ALL tethered ride ticket holders who could NOT get a ride can be upgraded to a casual meal from the Victory Cup Main Grill Area. Head to the Tethered Ride Tented Area for full details.
