CASTILE, N.Y. — Letchworth State Park will get a lift this Memorial Day weekend with a Red, White, and Blue Balloon Launch.
The launches began Friday and will run through Monday, and they will take place around 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Archery Field, according to the park. There will be a sunrise-only launch on Memorial Day.
Roughly 20 hot air balloons are expected to participate in the event, which depends on the weather and is subject to change.
"Ground winds must be slower than about 6mph to launch," the park said.
Admission to the park is $10 per vehicle from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The park opens at 6 a.m. daily and closes at 11 p.m.
