Third update (Oct 22): I did have a conversation with the organizer and they said that everyone would be refunded by November 2. And if you aren’t, call 866-822-5566.
Second important update (Oct 21): On the Facebook event for the Raleigh/Durham Balloon Festival, they updated on October 20: “UPDATED 10/20/22: Hi everyone. This event is not going to take place this weekend so a credit is being processed for everyone. Apologies for the inconvenience. This is due to original venue still not being available and an alternative location could not be secured in time. You do not need to contact us, credits will be automatic and will appear within 5 to 7 business days.”
I’m attaching a screen shot below, in case they delete the Facebook event.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: This event has been postponed until October 21st to 23rd. Here’s the message that one ticket buyer received:
Dear Guest,
We have been informed by the Meridian Community Foundation that the new Meridian Park is not going to be able to welcome any guests this weekend due to over running construction works.
Due to the park not being ready, the event will now be hosted on October 21 to 23, 2022.
All tickets are being transferred to the new dates on the day of the week specified – if you booked Friday, you will use Friday 21st October. If you booked Saturday, you will use Saturday 22nd October.
We understand that this is a huge inconvenience and we thank you for your understanding.
If the new dates do not work for you, please email balloonglowoffice@gmail.com for a full credit per terms and conditions to be issued through our ticket site Fareharbor. When you send your email, please send your name (of guest who booked), email (that we have on file) and your order number.
Apologies again for any inconvenience and we look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

The Triangle Balloon Festival is taking place September 23rd to 25th, 2022, from 5 to 9 p.m., at Meridian Community Foundation Park.
Fall is looking great around the Triangle, whether you’re looking for something spooky or totally kid-friendly! Check out our HUGE list of fall festivals, as well as our list of Raleigh area haunted trails and pumpkin patches, hayrides and corn mazes! We have also put together a big list of Halloween events and Trick or Treat events!
General car passes are $25 per vehicle. There’s no admission price beyond the car pass, although there’s a charge for tethered hot air balloon rides and other attractions.
The Triangle Balloon Festival is part of the Balloon Glow Tour, which came to Raleigh last year. It was very popular and sold out, so you might want to buy your tickets soon.
You must arrive before 7 p.m. No admission will be permitted after 7 p.m.
This outdoor event includes:
- Nightly laser show
- Live entertainment
- Tethered hot air ballon rides
- Local food and retail
- Bounce houses
Double-Check Before You Head Out!
We make every effort to make sure that everything on Triangle on the Cheap is 100% accurate.
However, sometimes things change without notice, and it’s also possible that we can make a mistake.
Please verify all deals and events with the venue or organizer before you go.
