The Balloon Glow was back during this year’s Homecoming Week. The event took place September 30, starting at dusk. Ten balloons were inflated but remained grounded for the duration of the event. As the sky darkened, Friar’s Field was filled with bursts of color. The flames from the burners lit up the vibrant balloons in flickers and long blasts.

Members of the public joined with the QU community to see the balloons. The following morning, a few select members of the community were able to take a balloon ride over Quincy.
