ART CITY DAYS BALLOON FEST & NIGHT BALLOON GLOW JUNE 11 & 12 Those attending this year’s Art City Days Balloon Fest will enjoy both a new location and a new event: an evening balloon glow. BALLOON FEST The traditional Balloon Fest activities will be held this year on Friday and Saturday, June 11 and 12, from 6:30 to 9 a.m. on the field at Art City Elementary School, 121 N. 900 East, Springville. Come enjoy this colorful and exciting event where spectators can get a close-up view of the process of setting up and launching hot-air balloons. Adding even more fun will be free donuts, free face painting and free T-shirts. Sign up for a free ride in a tethered hot air balloon or catch candy and prizes from the balloons as they take off. Bring a camera to take advantage of some great photo opportunities. Spectators are encouraged to bring blankets and breakfast so they can sit and eat while watching the balloons fill up and lift off. Admission is free; bring your family and friends! The Balloon Fest also features the Orville Anderson Cup Competition through which the balloon pilots compete to show off their skills. Special thanks go to Sunpro Springville for their sponsorship of this free event. NEW NIGHT BALLOON GLOW On Friday, June 11, from 8:30 to 10 p.m., the new Friday Night Balloon Glow event will allow spectators to see the fiery glow of five colorful hot-air balloons as they lift off that evening. The balloons will be tethered to the ground, but there will be a lot of excitement as you see and feel the hot air being blasted into them by the balloons’ burners. The balloon glow event will be held on the field between the Clyde Recreation Center and Meadow Brook Elementary School (717 S. 1200 West) in Springville. The best time to see and experience the magic of the balloon glow will begin at dusk, approximately 9 p.m., and continue after dark. Admission is free.
