Visitors also are invited to Riverbend Park at dusk to watch the night-time balloon glow. Balloon crews inflate the orbs, which are tethered to the ground, but take on a life of their own when the pilot pulls on the propane lever. In the darkening summer evening, the balloons light up bigger than life. Illuminated hot air balloons make for a spectacular sight like nothing else. The evening balloon glows will thrill folks of all ages. On July 29 the evening balloon glow moves down to the Sunriver Resort south of Bend.
