So exciting to see the balloons at Principal Park and the Science Center last night!
We're a go! The wind is in our favor which means that we'll be bringing bright balloons to #downtownDSM for the Great DSM Hot Air Balloon Hunt with National Balloon Classic tonight, Saturday, March 4 at 6 p.m.! Stay tuned for more information on locations.
Will we see you downtown for the event? Let us know if the comments! #downtownDSM
The Great DSM Hot Air Balloon Hunt is back! Keep your eye out for beautiful balloons that will glow all throughout #downtownDSM on Saturday, March 4, weather permitting. Make sure you grab some #DSMlocal eats and treats before and after you visit the hot air balloons!
Don't forget to post your best photos of the Hot Air Balloons on social media using #downtownDSM on Saturday for a chance to win a chance for you and a guest to fly in a hot air balloon ride at the National Balloon Classic, scheduled for July 28 – Aug. 5 (normally a $500+ value). Participants will be limited to one entry.
