It’s nearly that time of year again, when hot air balloons spot the sky and illuminate the night for a picturesque weekend of family friendly fun in St. Louis. The Great Forest Park Balloon Race & Glow kicks off Friday, September 15, with the “glow” portion of its annual event at Emerson Central Fields (5625 Wells Drive, 314-289-5300) in Forest Park, where visitors are welcome to walk around and view the balloons at dusk while chatting with their pilots and crew.
