The Topsham Fairgrounds is hosting a unique event that will be fun for the whole family. The Balloon Glow and Laser Show will be in Topsham for two days on Friday, August 30, and Saturday, August 31.

What is the Ballon Glow and Laser show? It's what it sounds like but with so much more. It's a little like a small fair in the daytime and a stunning laser show against the backdrop of hot air balloons lit up at night.

During the day you can take a ride on a tethered hot air balloon, play games, and ride rides in the Kids Zone. There will be live entertainment from several musical artists, craft and vendor booths, and all kinds of food similar to what you'd get at the fair.

As the sun starts to go down, the fairgrounds transform into an amazing laser show among the magnificent hot air balloons.

Here's a look at what it was like when the show came to Tennessee River Park.
