"BALLOOMINATION" Hot Air Balloon Glow Show

The event is hosted by Warren County Community College, located at 475 Route 57, Washington, New Jersey. Gates open at 3 pm and features food trucks, vendors, entertainment and hot air balloon tethered rides, balloon launch around 5:15 pm.

Balloomination is not the typical balloon glow of balloons blasting in time with the music, but an illumination of many balloons synchronized with the emotional content of the performance. This gives an experience beyond your imagination. It will touch you in a way that no balloon glow can. Balloomination has set the new standard for the balloon glow. Balloomination is something that you must see to believe.

As twilight begins to take hold, people gather with excitement, you can feel the anticipation in the air. A sense that you are about to see something for the first time, something that has never been seen before, something different, something wonderful. You have seen a balloon glow before, but this time you are told that it's not the "same old thing".

The traditional old style "balloon glow" has been done with music playing in the background. This gives a nice stage while the pilots attempt to blast in time with the tune. The problem is, that the timing is quite "hap hazard" giving the appearance of a scattered and random presentation with no intent. The pilots try to match the musical beat, but they never quite get the timing.

Balloomination is the vision of pilot, Tom Robins and a result of years of experience, experimentation and development with hot air balloon burner systems, sound systems, and computer equipment. This along with show content has proven to be an awesome crowd pleaser. 

Balloomination is more than just balloons. It uses US patented technology to achieve perfection in glowing balloons. In addition to the glow technology, Tom Robins has incorporated a four-kilowatt sound system. This gives the audience a high fidelity experience compared to the typical "loud speaker" environment present at most outdoor events.

Balloomination transforms a typical "balloon glow" into the center stage show. It is an impressive, magical, stands a lone presentation of hot air balloons glowing in perfect time with a musical performance.

The last time Balloomination was presented was 10 years ago, in 2012, in Warren County, NJ. This year, the Warren County Hot Air Balloons, Fun and Games Festival organizers are bringing it back for the Festival, which runs from Friday, September 23 through Sunday, September 25, at Warren Community College's Washington Campus. Balloomination is schedule for Saturday and Sunday evening at approximately 7:30 pm.

Balloomination is supported in part by Warren County Cultural and Heritage Division of Land Preservation, Explore Warren County Tourism Partnership (explorewarren.org) and RE/MAX.
