Be blown away by the sight of 15 huge, colorful balloons flying high during the day and night. Flight times are 7am and 5pm daily, weather permitting. Each night the sky will light up with balloons being it up in the night sky participating in a “night glow”. There will be activities for the kids and food vendors. Stay in Rock Island, Illinois only 14 miles from the balloon races where you will find an active downtown, golf courses, casino, biking paths, marina, shopping and more.
