If you are looking for someway to enjoy the outdoors this weekend, check out the 2007 Ballunar Festival in Clear Lake at the Johnson Space Center. The festival started in 1993, when Steve Lombardi (head balloon pilot for RE/MAX) wanted to celebrate the 200th anniversary of man’s first flight at the location of today’s most technologically advanced flight operations. 14 years later the Ballunar Festival is still going strong, with over 60 Balloons registered for this year’s event. In addition to hot air balloons, there will be skydiving and other air sports to keep your eye in the sky. For you aviophobes, there will be local bands and dance groups on the ground to keep you entertained.
The family friendly festival starts at 6pm Friday evening and runs through noon on Sunday, with various events throughout each day (full schedule). We recommend checking out the Balloon Glow on Friday and Saturday evening, as the weather should be perfect.
