The light show runs from 19:00 to 19:20. On June 25, the theme is rock music, and on June 26, it’s pop music. The dazzling and dynamic fire performance uses the hot air balloon’s giant flamethrower to ignite the night, accompanied by laser beams and synchronized performances with the hot air balloons and music, creating a moving concerto. Plus, five anime characters make an appearance, engaging in a light battle with the balloons. Those who want to watch are advised to arrive early. The event site also features a PLAY BALL inflatable zone, with live music performances starting at 14:00. You can enjoy the sunset and secure better viewing spots.
