Ballunar Liftoff Festival
The sky's the limit as more than 100 hot-air balloons majestically take
off around the Johnson Space Center in Houston during the Ballunar
Liftoff Festival. Balloons of all shapes and sizes compete in events
over the weekend.
Visitors can enjoy a dramatic after-dark balloon glow on Friday and
Saturday evenings, achieved when the balloon pilots simultaneously
illuminate the tethered fleet. Saturday features special-shaped
balloons during the "UFO Invasion". Sky diving, balloon flights, hang
gliding, model rocket demonstrations, games and food add to the fun.
Johnson
Space Center is the training home of America's astronauts and the site
of NASA's mission control. The festival is the largest hot air balloon
rally in Texas, annually attracting more than 100,000 people.
