Giant Hot Air Balloons to fill sky
It’s a great day for early-risers – the Giant Hot Air Balloon Launch begins at sunrise. Fairgoers can take in the full experience, including the loud “whoosh” as the balloons fire up to the dots in the sky as they drift away from the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
This year, these colorful floating machines will not be competing in their typical “Hare and Hound” race, but instead launching and landing after about a 30-minute flight.
Viewing the Giant Hot Air Balloon Launch is free with fair admission. The balloons will take off from the Infield.
