Up, up, and away…to Wausau, which is where Wisconsin’s newest hot air balloon fest, Taste ‘N Glow, will take place. Just a few months away, the brand new event is evolving quickly. And thanks to the hard work of volunteers and sponsors, attendees are in for a real treat.

Mark your calendars! Taste ‘N Glow is scheduled for July 9, 10, and 11, 2021.

A local couple came up with the idea for Taste ‘N Glow after the cancellation of Wausau’s annual Rib and Balloon Fest.

The idea quickly snowballed, and before long, the couple had rounded up numerous volunteers and 40 sponsors.
Trailmates Snowmobile Club is one of the sponsors and has generously offered up their grass drag tracks for the event.

The 80-acre field not only provides plenty of room for the balloons but also allows for social distancing.
The expansive grounds have another perk – more room for activities! Attendees can enjoy everything from log-rolling demonstrations to a tractor pull-style event.
