Due to windy conditions, the hot air balloons were unable to fly this morning, but conditions look very favourable for an excellent show at tonight's Balloon Glow.
Organizer Jamie Kinghorn made the announcement this morning at 7 a.m. during a live Facebook feed.
However, Kinghorn added that it looks like it should be a great night for the Balloon Glow.
The Balloon Glow will have about a dozen or so balloons fill up the open field in Wallaceville and then while still grounded the pilots fill up the balloons and welcome everyone onto the field.
The event starts at 5 p.m. with traffic being blocked off on Centre Street starting at 4 p.m.
The balloons will start inflating between 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. with the event wrapping up around 9 p.m.
There are also shuttle buses to avoid all the parking congestion and you'll need to bring cash.
