7:00 pm: Balloon Lift Off

One of the many joys of Days in the Park can be found in the sky when anywhere from 7 - 10 Hot Air Balloons take flight.  A family tradition for some, and for others it can be a new experience.

Mother nature doesn't always cooperate, so we do NOT have a rain date.  Whether you choose to watch from afar or near, it is definitely an event to watch.

7:00pm: The Tempest

The Bard's tale of treachery, betrayal, and forgiveness.
