Annual hot-air balloon festival on fairgrounds — colorful mass ascensions, tethered rides, pilot portraits and dramatic dawn/sunset skies. Best at early morning golden hour and evening ‘glow’ sessions; weather-dependent and often ticketed. Fairground parking; arrive 30–60 min early for prime vantage and fewer crowds.
