Events Description
The Heritage Inn International Balloon Festival returns to High River for the 7th year in a row. Featuring balloons from around the world, there will be lots to see in the skies over High River!
Night Glow
The highlight of this event is the Night Glow, scheduled for Friday. Guests have the opportunity to watch the balloons “glow” in the dark, see the balloons up close and meet the pilots. On site there will be a walk-in balloon – you can actually walk inside and see how a hot air balloon inflates. Come early and visit one of our many Food Vendors and enjoy this free event. The balloons will glow for a maximum of one hour from 7:30 pm.
What is Night Glow?
The sight of hot air balloons lit up like giant light bulbs is amazing. Pilots will coordinate ‘all burns’ where they fire up their burners illuminating their balloons all at once and also perform ‘count downs’ which are very crowded participatory events.

Quick question about the date for night glow. September 22, 2016 is on a Thursday but in the where and when description it says Friday night. Just want to verify so we come down on the right day is all. Thanks
