Fireworks shows are scheduled each evening after the concert.

The weekend also includes hot air balloons from all over the nation as part of the Cancer Association of Anderson’s annual “Hot Air Affair” fundraiser event, which also aims to increase awareness of the mission of hope and support provided by the Cancer Association of Anderson.
