Witness beautiful morning and evening flights by 24 hot air balloons over Frankenmuth! Nightly balloon glows take place in the grassy field near River Place Shops, this is a must-see event you don’t want to miss at the Frankenmuth Dog Bowl!

Do you live within a 10 mile radius of Frankenmuth?  If so and you would like to allow a Hot Air Balloon to land or launch from your property, please place a white sheet on the spot starting Friday early morning until Monday afternoon.  Make sure your sheet can be seen from the air and when a Balloon Pilot sees it he knows you have given him permission to land.
