Hot air balloons aren’t limited to daylight hours. Many balloon festivals include mesmerizing “night glows,” where balloons are tethered to the ground and illuminated with propane burners.

The result is a magical display of colorful balloons glowing in the dark, set against the night sky.

Night glows are a favorite among spectators, offering a unique and enchanting way to experience the beauty of hot air balloons. (via: https://instructivefacts.com/facts-about-hot-air-balloons/)
