Sometimes, hot air balloons are just as breathtaking when they’re tethered to the ground as when they’re flying high in the sky. At River’s Edge Park in Council Bluffs this Friday, you can enjoy the bonfire-like glow created by the burners on a half-dozen parked balloons. Enjoy food, fire pits and acoustic music from Joe Reynolds while you take in the magic.
Giveaway alert: The first 100 people who bike to the event, which will have plenty of bike parking, will receive a free T-shirt. Kids will take home free glow sticks and balloon animals.
