The Great Forest Park Balloon Glow and Race

One of St. Louis’ most idyllic events, The Great Forest Park Balloon Glow and Race is not to be missed.

Event organizers say that it’s the oldest and best-attended hot air balloon race in the world – you might want to scope out the perfect viewing area for you and your family ahead of time.

This September, the event will also feature food trucks, music, wagon rides, a fireworks show and more free family fun!
