Tethered rides are an amazing way to experience ballooning and get a ‘birds eye view’ of the Festival. The RE/MAX of Texas Parachute Team will jump out of an airplane and glide down onto the field, the Balloon Glows are presented by Dos Equis and UNIFY Financial Credit Union, with additional balloon activities presented by H-E-B | Central Market and the City of Plano. Friday night, Party Machine, an Emerald City Band, will have the FOX4 Main Stage rocking. Saturday night attendees will be ‘keeping the beat’ with Moving Colors, so plan to party all evening. The Kids Fun Zone is a mini carnival adventure with mechanical rides, inflatable slides, obstacle courses, craft stations and more.
