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.

This event is free to these individuals and their immediate family. This event would not be possible without the support of our sponsors as well as donations from various Rotary Clubs in the Mid-South.
Balloon flights and displays are weather dependent,
taking place only at dusk and dawn when conditions permit.
