Does anyone know if there will be restrictions for open or concealed carry at this year's Plano Balloon Festival. I want to open carry there this year.

Also, the park appears to be city property, so you should be good to go.

They launch balloons from all over. But the majority of the festival is on city property.

Sounds really cool. If I didn't have plans this weekend I might check it out.

Well rats. I've never actually been TO the festival. But if you guys are all gonna go, I may have to walk over (I only live a few miles away). Maybe this is the weekend I see my first open carry.

They fly over the house so I'll watch it from home.

Maybe we can pick a meeting spot and grab some funnel cake? The balloons are always best in the evening then when the sun sets they do the glow and the fireworks.

I think our own Keith B is there and flyin'. I have no idea what his balloon looks like so I can't tell you what to watch for. Wave at all of 'em, just in case. ;-)

Well if Keith B is going to be there, we should just try to meet at his balloon. We know that area will be 2a friendly :)

I think the balloon field is roped off for most of the event
