Friday Night Lights
The heart of the Mid-South Balloon Festival is Friday Night Lights, a private event held Friday, Sept. 19, from 5 to 9 p.m. This special evening is designed exclusively for children and adults with special needs — along with their immediate families — from Shelby County, the greater Mid-South region and beyond.
Guests will enjoy tethered balloon rides, food, music and a festive atmosphere tailored to create lasting memories in an inclusive and welcoming environment.
Attendance is by application only; this event is not open to the general public. Deadline to apply is August 1.
