One of my favorite traditions continues, the annual Forgetting To Go To The Balloon Race.

31st Annual Great Forest Park Balloon Race

Description: The Balloon Race, presented by Energizer, will take place at Central Field in Forest Park, just east of the Jewel Box. The Race is free and a wonderful event for family, friends and pets! Festivities begin at 12 noon, and the Race lifts off at 4:30 p.m., with the Energizer Bunny Hot Hare Balloon, the tallest balloon in the country (standing 15-feet taller than the Statue of Liberty). The annual Balloon Glow will take place Friday, September 19 from 7 p.m. - 8:45 p.m. on the grounds beneath the World’s Fair Pavilion in Forest Park.
