The South Florida Hot Air Balloon Festival is underway at Markham Park in Sunrise. The event runs Friday, Nov. 13, and Saturday, Nov. 14, with gates opening at 5 p.m. both days.
Balloon rides run from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. each night. Tethered balloon rides cost $35 per person and are purchased on site, according to the event’s Eventbrite page.
The Broward Scene reported that the festival also includes vendors, a kids zone and a drone show at night. The account said a large crowd was on site Friday evening.
Visitors should expect heavy traffic. The post said the car lines to enter Markham Park were long and urged drivers to arrive early or plan extra time.
