Great Balloon Glow canceled due to weather

Due to inclement weather, hot air balloons will not be inflated Friday night.

The Balloon Glow had returned to Fest-a-Ville, lighting up Louisville’s waterfront. Pilots describe it as a family tradition as Derby Festival events continue through next week.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Heavy rain moving through the Louisville area has led to the cancellation of Friday night’s L&N Federal Credit Union Great Balloon Glow.

Organizers said the event, including the Candlestick Glow, will not be held as scheduled.

Despite the cancellation, weather conditions are expected to improve in time for Saturday morning’s L&N Federal Credit Union Great Balloon Race.

The Great Balloon Race is still planned to launch from Bowman Field on Saturday at 7 a.m.
