 Whimsical send-off to summer |
Wiley Post Airport Oklahoma City, OK 73008 United States +1 405 475 7006 |
BalloonFest, one of the city's most beloved events, is the perfect family outing. Huge, brightly colored hot-air balloons dot the airport grounds and soar across the sky. If you are brave, you can even take a ride in one. Do not miss the evening, 'Moon Glow', where the balloons light up the night with their colorful radiance. Best of all, the funds that are raised by the event go to benefit the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. Review © 2007, Wcities |
