The inaugural event in 2006 attracted hundreds of spectators to Shawnee Park. Fifteen balloons lifted off around 6pm for about a half-hour flight.  The balloons landed in various locations including West Louisville, Shively, the Iroquois Park area and Outer Loop.

This new balloon event was added to the Festival schedule in 2006 to give patrons a preview of the balloon events to come.  The event will take place in a different location each year.
