Taste N’ Glow Balloon Fest Wausau, WI Part 2: Glow Fest
I can’t decide what was more amazing- seeing the hot air balloons lift up into the clear blue sky, or seeing the balloons light up the night in time to music!
Both events were so incredible. If you didn’t get a chance to read Part 1 and see the amazing images of the balloons in flight, check it out here.
The Glow Fest was hosted by Dave Kallaway with 95.5 WIFC. He played some really fun songs for the balloons to light up to- you could tell the pilots and the audience were having a ton of fun! We were chatting with one of the SkyCab pilots later on in the night, and he mentioned that he had never been to another balloon fest where they timed the glow to music- the music just makes it that much more exiting and keeps everyone engaged!
My husband, Allen, took Everett around to see all of the balloons while I took pictures, and we met up again after I made a full circle. Between the music and balloons being lit, it was loud, and I wish I had remembered my earplugs, but it was so worth it. I highly recommend going next year- but bring earmuffs for the kids- I saw quite a few little ones (including my own) get scared when the pilots fired the burners up.
Check out a few of my Glow pictures below and be sure to check out Part 3: the SkyCab ride- coming soon!
Thanks for reading- we’ll catch you on Part 3 coming soon!

Ps- did you see my son dancing in one of the pictures?! I’m pretty sure he was boppin’ around to “Cotton-Eye Joe”!
