A two-night hot air balloon festival at the Burlington County Fairgrounds will feature tethered rides, live music, food vendors and a nightly glow and laser show.
Hot air balloons will take over the Burlington County Fairgrounds next month during a two-night festival with live music, food vendors and a nighttime light show.
The event takes place Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20, with gates opening at 5 p.m. each night.
Balloons will fill the sky throughout the evening, with tethered rides available for visitors who want to go up. Ride tickets are $35 per person, sold on site and subject to weather conditions, with limited availability.
The festival also features DJs and live music, along with craft and retail vendors and a range of food options.
Families can visit a kids zone with games, rides and other activities.
Each night ends with a balloon glow around 9 p.m., as anchored balloons light up in sync with music, paired with a laser show and crowd countdown.
Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs and umbrellas to set up a spot on the grounds.
