Hot air balloon lovers will have to rise early Saturday, July 16, to witness the launch of several colorful balloons at the start of Waterford’s Balloonfest.
Weather permitting, the launch window is 6 to 7:30 a.m. at Waterford Union High School, 611 W. Main Street.
The daylong Balloonfest returns to Waterford after a three-year absence thanks to the sponsorship of the Waterford Union School District.
The event is free, but there is a $10 parking fee (cash only).
The highlight of the day is the launching of the majestic, multicolored hot air balloons.
Balloonfest also features food, beverages and vendors in addition to several activities.
