What is a Balloon Glow?
The balloons are set up at sunset in the launch area and are inflated as if they are going to take off. But instead of being allowed to ascend, they are held down by the ground crew.

Since the event typically occurs in the dark, the balloons glow like huge light bulbs or Chinese lanterns, giving a spectacular display for the audience.
