One of the most popular events in Central Connecticut is returning after a three-year hiatus.
The Plainville Fire Company is hosting its Hot Air Balloon Festival at Norton Park in Plainville beginning on the evening of Friday, Aug. 25, and running all day on Saturday, Aug. 26. The free festival will feature a “balloon glow,” fireworks display, two balloon launches, a car show, an arts and crafts show, musical entertainment, food, and several other vendors.
“I am excited to share that the Plainville Balloon Festival is back,” said Town Council Chairwoman Kathy Pugliese. “The town is proud to partner with the Plainville Fire Company in organizing this festival that has been a staple of the Plainville community since 1984 and has””in recent years””become one of the largest and last remaining balloon festivals in the Northeast.”
