What’s better than a day spent with family and friends at Coney Island? A day spent with family and friends AND the visual splendor of vibrant hot air balloons during Balloon Glow.

“Coney Island is our community’s treasured, family-friendly gathering place” said Coney Island’s spokesperson Tricia Mullin. “Our Balloon Glow festival fits right in with that, offering area families a chance to take a break from it all and enjoy experiences together that will become fond memories for a lifetime.”

What will those memories be made of? The look of awe on a child’s face as they see not one, but TEN hot air balloons glowing vibrant colors against the dusk sky. The unbridled smiles of the kids as they enjoy the Twister water slide over and over and over again, waving to Dad every time. It’s the moment Mom joins her kids on the dance floor as she introduces them to her favorite ‘90s hits played by the band “90 Something.” It’s the way the kids lean back on each other as they look up to see fireworks splashing color all over the night sky.

“This is what Coney Island is all about,” Mullin said. “We’re here to help Mom or Dad show the little loves of their lives what it means to be a kid in the height of summertime.”
