Hot air balloons won't be taking flight today (Sept. 25) in High River after all.
The first launch of the Heritage Inn International Balloon Festival was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, but with strong gusts expected in the Foothills, the balloons are remaining grounded for now.
Other festival events are still moving forward though, namely the opening ceremony, including a banner presentation and an introduction of the pilots.
The ceremony is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Heritage Inn.
For now, flights are still a go for Thursday morning at 8 a.m.
