From Sept. 18-21, North Texans can shop, eat, drink, and enjoy the sights in Plano at the colorful H-E-B | Central Market Plano Balloon Festival at Oak Point Park.
Festival fans can soak up the evening balloon glow, when dozens of balloons light up the park. The balloons will light up in the park from the ground on Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night at 7 p.m. The balloon glows are also planned for 7 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday mornings, weather permitting.
In the Central Market Kids Fun Zone, families will find inflatables, slides, rides, and the Whataburger Kids Korner art tent. Shoppers can browse 35 local vendors selling everything from hand-crafted décor to one-of-a-kind gifts. And for car lovers? BMW of Plano will let guests hop behind the wheel of their ultimate driving machines.
Tethered balloon rides are available, while rides that fly away from the park are not. Get all the details here.
