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.
