Visions of hot air balloons will be glowing in the eyes of children and adults alike as the Paris Balloon and Music Festival makes a comeback following last yearâs cancellation due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The event, set to take place Sept. 10 and 11, brings hot air balloon pilots to Northeast Texas from as far away as California for a weekend of festivities and wonder as the balloons soar high into the air.
Organizer Lena Spencer said the event will be all the more meaningful this year after the community had to miss out on it in 2020. Spencer, who chairs the Childrenâs Department, wrangles volunteers, and takes care of publicity, graphic design and creative work to get the word out about the festival, said the decision to cancel last year was a tough one for the board.
