The Ninth Annual FireLake Fireflight Balloon Festival is right around the corner, Aug. 7-8, at the Citizen Potawatomi Nation (CPN) Festival Grounds.
It will return with hot-air balloons from across the country, including the morning balloon launch, balloon glow and tethered rides. Commercial rides have already sold out this year, but tethered rides are $25 each.
