Battle Creek Field of Flight Air Show and Balloon Festival

As dusk falls over W.K. Kellogg Airport, some MAGICAL ILLUMINATIONS begin. During our "Balloon Illumes" the launch field will be lit up with the glowing burners of over 20 Hot-Air Balloons. This "picture-perfect" site, is something that you won't want to miss and will become one of your favorite family memories forever.

The Balloon Illumes also incorporate some audience participation. You will be asked to say "Twinkle" or "Light 'Em Up". When you say "Twinkle", the pilots will light their burners in spurts, causing them to twinkle. When you say "Light Em Up", the flame will stay lit and the grounds will light up. The "Balloon Illumes" are a fan-favorite part of the Field of Flight, year after year.

There will be two Balloon Illumes throughout the course of the 2013 Event.

• Friday, July 5 - 9:30 - 10 PM (This Illume will take place between the Twilight & Night Air Shows
• Saturday, July 6 - 9:30-10 PM
