They dont. They fly where the wind blows them to.
Thank you for contacting the QuickChek Balloon Festival. The mass inflation and ascension of the balloons is scheduled to begin around 630pm, depending upon the winds and weather. They return after their flight but are not scheduled to re-inflate after that unless the pilot's choose to. We hope you enjoy all the Festival has to offer tonight!
