Spectators are encouraged to look to the sky – from the comfort of their homes – between 7:30-8:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday morning to watch an array of 35+ balloons participating in the modified citywide celebration, lifting off from 10-12 locations across the city. The balloon launch site area map can be found at ColoradoSpringsLaborDayLiftOff.com.
