The 15th Lithuanian Hot Air Balloon festival will take place this weekend - August 2-4 (Thursday to Saturday). This should be a great opportunity to see balloons floating over the pretty Old Town roofs. Watching balloons lift off is also a treat. The balloonies will be firing up their burners and filling their balloons with hot air at 06:00 and 19:00 each day. They will probably take off from the apron in front of the Vingio Parkas stadium thingy, but that can change with the wind. In any case, if you're in Old Town during the weekend, get your camera ready, and when you hear something that sounds like a dragon breathing, point it at the sky. The balloons can be spectacular.
By the way, the photo shown on this post is from a balloon festival in New Jersey, and taken by a guy called Tampen - a flickr photographer who consistently posts great pictures with thoughtful or thought-provoking comments.
