The main highlight of the Festival's program is the magical Balloon Glow, which usually begins at 8:30 pm. Glowing balloons resemble giant lanterns illuminating the night sky over Robin Lake Beach. Then, an amazing fireworks display takes over the sky, leaving the public in awe.

During the whole weekend, there is an array of family-friendly events and beach activities at Robin Lake Beach. The car show takes place on Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm. Craft vendors and artisans offer their unique handmade items. Tethered balloon rides are available on both days from 8 to 11 am and from 4 to 8 pm.

K9 show, live music, and delicious food are just some of the attractions of the Hot Air Balloon Festival at Callaway Gardens. Explore the 2,500 acres (1,012 ha) park with dozens of hiking and biking trails. If you are looking forward to making a perfect shot with hot air balloons, try a three-day “Mastering Night Photography Workshop.”
