From ROSSFORD CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU
The skies over Rossford will light up, once again, for the Rossford Balloon & Fireworks Fest. This free event will take place Friday and Saturday, July 18–19, at the crossroads of I-75 and the Ohio Turnpike (Exit 64) behind Meijer on Route 20-Fremont Pike. In addition to a lineup of family-friendly activities, there will be food, hot air balloons, and fireworks. Festival-goers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and their “sense of adventure.”
Tethered Balloon Rides will be available Friday and Saturday from 7 to 11 p.m. (weather permitting). Rides are $15 per person and offer an ascent to 50–90 feet in the air, providing aerial views of the festival. The balloon has an “Easy Access Basket”, which features a side door — “ideal for small children, guests with mobility challenges, or wheelchair users.” Rides are first-come, first-served with no advance sales. Ticket sales start at 6 p.m….
