Balloon Glow (Saturday only):
The signature event at a hot air balloon festival, the balloon glow has been compared to Christmas in July or flickering Japanese lanterns. At predetermined signals, the pilots blast the propane burners, which releases a burst of fire into the balloon. The balloons "glow" like huge fireflies, a truly magical scene, and one not to be missed! The balloon glow occurs during the Saturday evening concert beginning at sundown.

Balloon Ascensions:
The balloons go up at 6:30 a.m & 6:30 p.m (depending on weather conditions).

What to bring:
Outside food and drink are NOT permitted (you can buy food/drink inside).
The concerts are lawn seating (unless you buy a seat for the concert) so bring blanket and beach/lawn chairs.

What goes on at the festival other than watching the balloons:
The Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning is "more than hot air" because it offers a wide variety of entertainment. There is truly something for everyone! From colorful hot air balloons ascending twice daily to 3 headline concerts BLUES TRAVELER, REO SPEEDWAGON, and BIG & RICH, to world-class children's entertainment including Disney Channel stars R5 featuring Ross Lynch, to hundred's of arts & crafters, to food vendors from around the world, fireworks, balloon glows and more, to amusement rides, we guarantee non-stop entertainment for the entire family!
