The only thing more majestic than hot air balloons is glowing hot air balloons. If you agree, you’ll want to mark your calendar for the Celebrate America Balloon Glow. Held on the 4th of July, the balloon glow is the perfect way to spend a summer evening. And while the 20 glowing balloons are the highlight of the event, they’re not all it has to offer. There’s also live entertainment, food, a kid’s carnival, and more. Take a look at this upcoming hot air balloon glow in Mississippi:
Heading into its 29th year, the Celebrate America Balloon Glow is now a Ridgeland tradition. This year, the annual celebration will take place on July 4, 2019 from 6 p.m. – 10 p.m.
