balloon glow

Discover why the beloved Balloon Glow event in Cedar Rapids won't light up the sky this year. Safety concerns lead to cancellation by Freedom Festival organizers.

This year's event will be held in a bigger space, allowing for as many as 12 hot air balloons!

The popular event is back in a new location and the hot air balloons won't be the first things you see in the sky that night.

We may not get to see a bunch of beautiful hot air balloons light up the dark this summer, but we can at least enjoy a little live music!

Look for us at next week's Freedom Festival Balloon Glow.

New location for this year's event provides more room for more fun.

It's been decided the previously announced location won't be able to accommodate the traffic from the event's huge crowd.

The new location will allow for expansion of an already huge Freedom Festival event.

Canceled in June due to wet weather, the Freedom Festival Balloon Glow takes place tonight in Cedar Rapids!

You spoke, they listened.
