Legends Balloon Rally 2009
Classic family fun, spectacular hot air balloons, and live music are just a few things the Legends Balloon Rally has to offer, and the best part…it’s all free!
This unique outdoor event that began in 2008 is held at Hot Springs Memorial Field Airport. Friday evening, 25 balloons from all over the country are tethered to the ground for the magnificent balloon glow. The flickering glow of each balloon creates a beautiful display in the evening light. Balloons are piloted by a veteran balloonist with no less than 300 hours experience.
Musical guests for the weekend include Tracy Byrd, Grand Funk Railroad and Arkansas natives, Justin Moore and Tracy Lawrence.
Please remember to bring your own chairs. Concessions will be available. No ice chests or dogs are allowed. If you are interested in being a volunteer, please contact Chrissy Egleston at cegleston@hotsprings.org or call (501) 321-2027.
This event will take place "Rain or Shine".
