City plans hot air balloon festival

Hot air balloon Ceres
Ceres city officials are planning to introduce a new event this summer to draw visitors to Ceres: a hot air balloon festival staged at the Ceres River Bluff Regional Park. The Modesto Airport must sign off on a temporary closure, however.
City officials believe they have found a way to draw positive attention to Ceres with a “Sky’s the Limit” hot air balloon festival, set for Saturday, June 17 at Ceres River Bluff Regional Park on Hatch Road. On Monday the Ceres City Council gave its blessings to the event and allocated $10,000 of ARPA funding to jumpstart it with the hopes of spurring interest in Ceres and boosting local sales from those visiting out of town.
