    The Most Colorful Morning You Will Ever Have at 6:00 AM…read moreThere are not many things worth setting an alarm for at 5:00 in the morning. This is one of them. The Provo Freedom Festival Balloon Fest is a three day annual celebration of the Fourth of July held at Fox Field on Freedom Boulevard, and it is exactly the kind of event that reminds you why summer in Utah is something special. Pilots from across the country bring their balloons to the Wasatch foothills and what unfolds over those three days is one of the most visually spectacular community events in the state. Arrive early. We mean it. Getting there around 5:30 am puts you on the field while the crews are still inflating the balloons, and watching a seven story tall colossus slowly rise against the backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains is something that does not have a good comparison. Sixty to eighty feet of color and fabric filling with air while the mountains glow in the early morning light is the kind of moment you reach for your camera and realize no photo will fully do it justice. Go anyway, take the pictures anyway. A tip for families: the crew members of each balloon are friendly and genuinely happy to talk. Ask them for their balloon card. Kids can collect a card from every balloon on the field and it turns the whole experience into an impromptu treasure hunt. Then come back for the glow event, which happens one night during the three day run and is worth rearranging your schedule for. The balloons stay grounded but are fully inflated and lit from within by their propane burners in sync with music. Watching these giants pulse and glow in the dark while the crowd gathers around them is a completely different experience from the morning flights and every bit as memorable. We grabbed a sugar waffle from the Waffle Love truck and wandered between the glowing balloons in the evening air, and it was the kind of night that sticks with you. A few practical notes before you go. This is a free event with no tickets required, which makes it even more remarkable for what it delivers. Parking is the one challenge. Neighboring businesses offer paid parking for around ten dollars, which is worth it if you want convenience. If you prefer free, arrive early and look for the field parking behind the hospital. Come late and you will be walking. Full marks. Some experiences justify every star and then some. Put it on the calendar now for next July.

    The balloon festival has become a yearly tradition. It's amazing every time. It's just something we…read morenever tire of seeing. It's fun to bring friend and family that come into town to experience the beauty and magic of it all. We show up early, bring blankets and breakfast and enjoy the show. It's a must see for all ages.

Our favorite part was Bob, the talking fish who can talk to you in real time using AI. Plan on at least an hour for this experience, but more if you want to do all of the quests and searches they have. I'm minusing a star because it was beyond irritating to make a reservation. You have to give them your physical address, phone number, email, and birthday, including day, month and year. You also had to sign a waiver. When you go to places like Lagoon you don't need to sign a waiver. This place is literally just walking around. They should do something where you agree to their terms when you buy the ticket and don't have to sign a waiver. Also, even though we bought our tickets in advance, we still had to wait in line with all of the people buying their tickets at the entrance, so buying ahead didn't save any time. We had to wait for 40 minutes to actually begin the experience. In a nutshell, if you've been to Disneyland, this place is like waiting in line at Disneyland.

For that, it's totally worth it. You wouldn't guess that you're tucked into the corner of a shopping mall (except for some small windows at the beginning of the game that look right out into it). Word of caution-there are flashing lights and uneven surfaces, so if that affects you, be aware. I did not previously have problems with this, but it triggered a little vertigo for me. Bummer, I would have loved to have stayed longer, but I was pretty dizzy. The black light clues are cool-although the "expert" level one was a little more challenging than most littles might be interested in. It takes a while to decode the messages and kids might lose interest before they get the message. There are a couple games for the younger kids that are much easier. At the end, there is a little arcade, but there wasn't anyone really staffing the merch desk or any staff members around anywhere, so we weren't sure what to do. So, we left. Maybe that was part of the game-you have to figure out where the people in charge are. Ha! Regardless of the challenges I personally faced, I still recommend this as a date night adventure or something to take the older kids to for a family fun night.

    We volunteer for this parade every year and it's always fun. It's one of the bigger Fourth of July…read moreparades in Utah and definitely has a real sense of Americana about it. It's a bit bigger than your average small town Fourth of July parade. We've done all sorts of different roles, including carrying the huge American flag to collecting tickets at the bleacher seats. There's aa 5K run beforehand as well as a children's parade where they toss some candy to the kids. For the main parade each of the local cities have a float as well as various clubs, groups, and organizations. The parade itself is about an hour to hour and a half. People line up days in advance to reserve their spots on the parade route so if you're going to attend, plan ahead!

    The fourth of July freedom Festival Parade has a reputation for being one of the best in the…read morewestern United States. In comparison to past years when we have attended, this year's parade seemed much shorter. Fewer entries but still the usual high school marching bands, politicians in great classic cars, a variety of troops and veteran groups, law enforcement motorcycles, floats featuring beauty queens, and the ever popular larger than life character balloons delighted the crowds as they marched, walked or drove the shortened parade route this year. One fun aspect of the parade is claiming the best spot. Spectators are allowed to camp out starting the night before the parade begins. Luckily, our son was willing to camp out and claimed a prime spot along the parade route. We sat comfortably in the back of his pick up truck with a canopy tarp providing great shade for us to watch the parade and enjoy breakfast. One favorite group featured in this parade are the missionaries from the LDS missionary training center. This year, there seems to have been some controversy about which groups were allowed to participate in the parade and which were not. No matter what one's religious affiliation is, there is no doubt that this enthusiastic and impressive group resonates well with the crowd as they received standing ovations and cheers when the missionary group walked by. This is a great parade for families of all ages.
