BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) - Hot air balloons will fill the skies once again as Balloons Over Bend returns for a three day celebration starting Friday.

The event kicks off with a sunrise balloon launch at Jewell Elementary School. Organizers recommend arriving around 6:15 a.m. to grab a good viewing spot.

The sunrise launches continue Saturday and Sunday. They're free and open to the public.

For those who prefer evening events, the Night Glow festivals in Bend and Redmond offer a chance to see the balloons illuminated against the night sky.
