*The Ballunar Liftoff Festival, one of the largest hot air balloon
festivals in the country, takes place August 22-24 at Houston Johnson

diving exhibitions, hang gliders, ultra light aircraft, arts and crafts
booths and more. www.ballunarfestival.com.

Witness the majestic grandeur as scores of brightly colored and
differently shaped hot air balloons launch from the Johnson Space Center
to soar overhead. All balloon launches and flights over the Festival occur
during the early morning hours, shortly after dawn, and in the late
afternoon hours, just before dusk.
