✨ Introducing a brand new event this winter at Foxfield...”Balloon Glow” presented by , Thomas Jefferson Hot Air Ballooning, and . December 13th, 5pm.

"A balloon glow is just what it sounds like... but better! While tethered to the ground, hot air balloons inflate and the pilots light them from within. The sight of hot air balloons lit up like giant colorful light bulbs is breathtaking. Pilots also coordinate "all burns," illuminating all balloons at once as well as "countdowns," which are very crowd participatory events."
🥘 Food trucks will be on-site at this free event! Event may be cancelled due to inclement weather. Check social media and foxfieldraces.com for updates.

Finally! We were finally able to greet the skies this morning after a looong hiatus due to persistent low cloud cover. We still had low clouds in places this morning, but instead of keeping us grounded, this time they provided spectacular scenery for our sunrise flight!
