As hot air balloons will once again take over the skies for a weekend during Bowling Green's largest outdoor festival.

Balloons, Tunes, and BBQ is back!

The festival kicks off tomorrow at 5.

While there is events for all ages tomorrow night is about the kids.

This year Wendy's is making sure underprivileged kids can join in on the fun.

"Wendy's this year actually sponsored some bracelets for the kids about 250 kids to have to ride the carnival and the inflatables for free and were giving these to kids that are part of our partner agencies. So kids that might not have been able to afford the inflatables and the carnival that are staying at the salvation army or go to the boys and girls club...They are going to have the opportunity to do that," says Mandy Baker of United Way of Southern KY.

Kids night will also include an activities tent, face-painting, carnival rides, and a new event called, Mascot Mania.

Mascot's from across the state will be there to take pictures with the kids.

The gates open at 5 PM, and proceeds will benefit the United Way.

Parking and admission is free.
