PLANO (WBAP/KLIF) – The Plano Balloon Festival, Inc. announced this week that it has decided to cancel the 2021 H-E-B Central Market Plano Balloon Festival that was scheduled for September 17-19.
“With the continued increase in COVID cases, specifically the Delta Variant, the Festival board and staff has considered the health and safety of our Festival pilots, attendees, volunteers, sponsors, and vendors our top priority,” read a statement of the festival website. “In making this difficult decision we are mindful of the extremely large number of families that attend the event, the majority of which have children under 12 years of age.”
Organizers said providing a safe environment for everyone that visits the event is crucial, especially for the youngest attendees.
