Coolidge Park will be filled with gigantic lanterns as hot air balloons fill both sides of the park with beauty and excitement. Don’t miss it, come before dusk to line the bridges and park, get up close and photograph your favorites, see how beautiful the night can be with the hot air balloon glow presented by BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee.

All events are weather dependent. Too much wind will cause the event to be cancelled with no notice.
