This week, I attended both the opening ceremony of the Balloon Fest in Crandall Park, and the early Saturday morning launch at The Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport. This was my first time actually going to the balloon fest as an adult, and I can say that it was definitely an interesting experience. The balloons that I managed to see were quite pretty, and it was cool to see the process of them actually being blown up and taking off into the sky up close. The pictures shot at Crandall were in the afternoon on a dreary day, while the ones shot at the airport were in the early morning sunrise. The airport ones ended up being my favorite shots, even though the balloons didn't actually go up in the morning (I missed the afternoon launch where they actually all went up). Below is what I captured -
A few tips for if you plan on attending one or more days of the festival-
- Plan to get there as early as you can so that you can get the best parking possible.
- You will be doing a lot of walking, so wear appropriate shoes, and depending on what time of day you go prepare to wear weather appropriate clothing as well.
- You might also want to bring your own snacks/drinks so that you don't have to wait in a long line for an unnecessary amount of time.
