Write a commentThe Town of Granby Community Activities Team (CAT) presents “Balloons Under the Moon” on Thursday, Aug. 21 from 5 to 9 p.m.
The free event is a night of family-friendly fun, featuring hot air balloons, live entertainment, food and more! It takes place at Don Butler Soccer Fields on Chase Road in Fulton.
Granby Town Supervisor John Snow is looking forward to the event. “We are excited to open our community’s doors and celebrate a spectacular evening of wonder in the skies over Granby,” he said. “Families, friends and visitors from near and far can take this opportunity to experience what makes our town so special—warm hospitality, shared joy and a night of unforgettable skies.”
One of the evening’s highlights is a static display of glowing hot air balloons, beginning at 7:30 p.m. and continuing until 9 p.m. Although there will be no balloon rides, Cosmic Karma Fire will deliver a captivating fire performance at 8 p.m. as the hot air balloons light up the night sky.
Before the glow, guests can experience a hot air balloon walk and browse balloon art by Jeff the Magic Man from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Other activities include bounce houses, live music, vendor booths and a photo op in a grounded hot air balloon basket. All activities are free, and no reservations are necessary.
The evening’s live music line-up features Twin Towers Music kicking things off at 5:00 p.m., followed by 3 of a Kind Band closing the stage at 7:00 p.m.
A variety of food vendors will be on-site with delicious options for purchase, including Shannon’s Hotdogs by Crystal, Willy-Billy-Bob’s BBQ, Babcia’s Boyz, PB&J’s Lunch Box, Cayuga St. Steakhouse, 114 Reserve, Fulton Youth Soccer concessions and an assortment of sweet treats.
