Eyes to the Skies is known throughout the nation for the wonderful display of hot air balloons. This is one of the most watched features of the Festival every year. The most spectacular view you can see of these balloons is just before and after the firework shows. The balloons will remain tethered to the ground but will lift up about a hundred feet and in the darkness of the night you can see the balloons glowing, giving off their own light show.  

The morning flights do not require the $3.00 festival admission; however, the evening flights and glows will require admission.

The four-day event at Lisle Community Park features a balloon launch at about 5:30 each morning, with the rest of the festival events starting at noon. If you’re not an early riser, you can catch a second launch at about 6:30 in the evening on three of the four days. Games and contests, arts and crafts, carnival rides, food booths, and musical performances are all part of the festival.
