Each morning you should plan to be at seated the field by 6:30 to see
what many people believe is the best time to see ALL the balloons flying
and it is generally cooler in the morning. The balloons will take off
upwind from the field and will fly over Pennington as they drop a
bean-bag marker onto a target.
SITE CLOSED – NO ACTIVITIES BETWEEN 9:00am - 4:00pm

Each afternoon, half of the balloons (approx. 30+) will set-up on the
Pennington field and take-off. This event permits the crowd to walk about
the field and visit the crews. It is a great time to take close-up pictures
of the inflation process. Also one balloon will take off as “the hare”
and soon after the other balloons will chase the hare as “the hounds”.
Friday and Saturday evenings after sunset, many people make a special
trip to see the balloon glow that resembles huge lighted ornaments.
Half of the balloons (approx. 30+) will inflate on the Pennington field
and flash their burners synchronized to the announcer's instructions:
"all burn","twinkle burn", etc.

The skies will glow with spectacular fireworks on Friday and Saturday night at 9:30pm, following the balloon glow, and will provide a
