At Canada’s biggest gathering of this kind, you can watch the hot air balloons inflate and take off up close. For this edition, organizers decided that the flight field will be U-shaped, so you can stand right in the middle of all the action.
You can hop on and take a ride up about 50 feet above the ground for $10, or go even higher into the clouds if you’re feeling brave enough. Now, who said you need wings to fly?
