This New Hot Air Balloon Fest Will Be A Louisiana Dream

Louisiana has more festival than you can shake a stick at. From early fall to late spring, there’s practically a festival taking place every weekend somewhere in Louisiana. Perhaps we should change our nickname from the Pelican State to the Festival State?

This new hot air balloon festival in Louisiana is guaranteed to be a family-friendly festival that kids and adults of all ages will love. Mark your calendars, because the Glow in the Cro Balloon Festival is not to be missed.
