A collection of colorful and whimsical inflatables will take off from Oswestry’s Cae Glas Park at 6am today, weather dependent.
Spectators are warned every year that hot air balloon launches are highly dependent on the weather and fears of persistent rain forced organizers to cancel the launch at 6am.
A statement on social media shortly before 6am said: “All balloon activity has been canceled this morning due to the weather.
“Unfortunately, due to the rain, all balloon activity has been canceled this morning and there will be no departures in the morning.”
The free event, with optional donations to Nightingale House Hospice, still has a fun-filled itinerary throughout the weekend – it officially opened at 10am today with music in the park.
With luck, the weather will improve in time for the ever-popular evening balloon release and Night Glow light show.
