Anyone go to the Balloon Festival today?
We are planning on going tomorrow and I was curious to what the crowds and parking are going to be like...?
Do they charge for parking?
Do they have food (lunch) there?
Any other tips?
TIA!

Not today but we are going tomorrow! I do know that if you bought the Newsday today there was a coupn for $5.00 off. So I bought a few papers!
I believe they will have food there.
I can't wait to go though! I want to see the GRucci firework show tomorrow night!!!

We planned to go but ditched it with the rain.
We may try to go on Sunday pm. My sister gave me free tickets from her job.
If you don't mind, I'd love an update from those going on Saturday.

The tethered rides seem reasonable. Also Pat Benatar is playing on Sunday night.
Unfortunately the real reason I wanted to go was the monster trucks for the kids but they won't around to go after tomorrow.

Did you see the monster truck show on the news that veered off and hit everyone in the stands watching? I will NOT be near that now!
I am thinking of going Sunday night too.
Anyone have an update on hwo it was????/

We are going today. It is a little pricey but it is nice day out. The last time they had it (six years ago) they charged for parking. If you are there in the evening they usually do a "balloon glow". The balloons light up like a lightbulb. Bring a camera if you are going to go.

Re: Anyone go to the Balloon Festival today?
you do have to pay for parking, it is like a big carnival. with alot extra. Marcie was right about those fireworks, it is in my back yard and man it was loud and long and from what i can see it looked great. my dog on the other hand did not like the noise at all . i did make a post on how to get around floyd traffic, i have a feeling because it rained out yesterday that today is going to be alot worse. hope you all have fun!

Does anyone know if the price of admission includes rides at the carnival or do they have a pay one price for that?
