Balloons took to the skies Thursday afternoon during the Havasu Balloon Festival and Fair’s mass Ascension. After Balloon Meister Gary Moore gave the green light, pilots inflated their balloons and soared over Lake Havasu.

After the mass ascension, another group of pilots participated in the “Glowin’ on the River” Night Glow.

Here are photos from Thursday’s Havasu Balloon Festival and Fair mass ascension and night glow.
