Great Texas Balloon Race announces changes for 2022

LONGVIEW – The Great Texas Balloon Race is making some changes ahead of its 2022 event. According to our news partner KETK, due to the pandemic, a modified event last year provided three mornings of races over Longview along with mass ascensions on two nights inside the city limits. Event organizers say the response from the community was “overwhelmingly positive.” Residents, pilots, and sponsors agree that bringing it back to Longview was “clearly the best path.” This year’s event will be held at the Longview Convention Complex from Friday, June 17, to Sunday, June 19.
