The Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival is excited to announce that Balloon Glow will be held at the Sinclair Levy!

Watch the sun go down on at the SInclair Levy, listening to the tunes and enjoying time with friends and family. The balloons will enter just before dusk on trailers, the balloonists will then raise them up to glow - balloons typically do not take off at this event. The purpose is to enjoy the "glow" and, once it is safe, the caution tape is removed and patrons are able to get up close and personal with these amazing balloons and the balloonists as well! 

Our performer this year is Alisabeth Von Presley.

Rain date is Thursday, June 27, 2019.

Things to know: 

Gates open at 5:00 pm

Coolers with outside food and beverages are allowed.

Bags and coolers will be checked at shuttle stops and at entry gates.

No pets and no fireworks (including sparklers) 

Please treat the property with respect at all times. 

Smoking is NOT allowed on the levy's grounds.

Food and non-alcoholic beverages are available for purchase.

Shuttles:

Shuttle stops will be located at the Kingston Stadium parking lot, and several downtown stops including in front of White Star Alehouse and EastBank Lounge, as well as Lot 44.

Parking is very limited near the Sinclair Levy. It is strongly recommended to park at/near designated shuttle stops.

Shuttle drop-off point is at the corner of 2nd Street SE & 16th Ave SE.

Shuttles will take you to the entrance, but there is a lot of walking on hilly terrain - please be prepared to walk as we are not able to safely transport people on golf carts due to the influx of patrons. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. 

Handicap parking will be available at the African American Museum.

We cannot wait to experience Balloon Glow with each of you at the Sinclair Levy!
