Hot air balloon festival is tonight in Slatington

Glowing hot air balloons will take to the skies over Slatington tonight.

A Spooktacular Hot Air Balloon Glow Festival and Trick or Treat will take place at Slatington Airport from 2-9:30 p.m.

More than a dozen tethered, glowing hot air balloons, including a special shape or two, will be on display along the milelong runway.

The event is hosted by Lehigh Valley Hot Air and sponsored by E.F. Laudenslager Propane.

Gates open at 2 p.m. for lawn seats.

The drive-thru event begins at 6 p.m., and balloons begin inflating at 6:15 p.m. All drive-thru vehicles will enter and exit from the airport main entrance.

Tethered balloon rides are available for all ages, weather permitting, for $20. Full-length balloon rides are also available.

DJ Cap Cee will provide Halloween music, and a fireworks show will conclude the event at 9 p.m.

Tickets for the event are $15 for children 10 and under and $29.99 for adults.

The event also features concessions, small amusement rides, a craft and vendor fair and 50-50 drawing.

Costumes are optional but encouraged, and kids under 10 will receive a trick-or-treat bag while supplies last.

Masks are required in all common areas.
