BRIDGEWATER — Bridgewater Commons mall invites shoppers to a walk-through event on July 18 to celebrate the upcoming Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning.
From 4-6 p.m. that day, mall attendees can explore the inside of one of the retired balloons from the festival, learn how hot-air balloons work, and enter to win tickets to the festival, which will be held from July 24-26 at Solberg-Hunterdon Airport in Readington.
The walk-through event will take place in the parking lot outside the mall entrance near Lord & Taylor. A 75-foot-tall hot-air balloon will be inflated with cold air, laid on its side and securely staked to the ground, allowing shoppers to explore a balloon from up close and from the inside. Festival staff will be on hand to provide additional information about this year's event.
In case of inclement weather, the event will be held inside the mall and feature a presentation on hot-air ballooning and the festival.
The 27th annual Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning in Association with PNC Bank offers morning-through-night entertainment including a fireworks extravaganza, a nighttime hot-air balloon glow where balloons are lighted like lanterns, live concerts by Michael McDonald, Beach Boys founder Al Jardine's Endless Summer Band, Kool & The Gang, Disney teen sensation Meaghan Martin and the newest boy band, One Call; the Flying Wallendas hire-wire act; interactive exhibits and amusement rides; and five scheduled mass balloon ascensions over the Hunterdon County countryside.
