Tom Sprafke of Huntsville took this photo of a double rainbow after a recent storm. Between the two bows lies an area of unlit sky referred to as Alexander’s band. Alexander’s dark band is the unlit, noticeably darker strip of sky that appears between the primary and secondary arcs of a double rainbow. Light which is reflected by raindrops in this region of the sky cannot reach the observer, though it may contribute to a rainbow seen by another observer elsewhere. It is named after the ancient Greek philosopher Alexander of Aphrodisias, who first recorded the optical phenomenon around 200 AD.

The Third Annual Eden Balloon Festival Set for Saturday, September 26

Come to Eden Park on Saturday, September 26, for a full day of balloons, music, food and community fun at the Third Annual Eden Balloon Festival. Ogden Valley is once again preparing to be painted with vibrant colors as hot air balloons rise against the backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains bringing the community together for a day filled with wonder, tradition, and small-town charm.

Last year’s festival, which drew families, neighbors, and balloon enthusiasts alike, proved that the spirit of ballooning in the valley is alive and well. What began as a grassroots effort by a handful of local Valley residents has quickly grown into a beloved tradition. Organizers say the momentum from last year’s event inspired them to dream bigger, while still keeping the festival rooted in its original vision—community first.

One committee member said, “It’s about more than just balloons—it’s about bringing our valley together.”

Festival Highlights
The festival will begin with a breathtaking sunrise balloon launch Saturday, September 26—a truly magical moment when balloons lift off in the crisp morning air at Eden Park. Watch colorful hot-air balloons fill the skies, enjoy breakfast from local food trucks and take an exciting, tethered balloon ride for a unique view of the park and surrounding valley.

On the evening of September 26, the celebration continues at Eden Park, where families can enjoy the following:

• Local food trucks serving a variety of bites, from sweet treats to hearty meals.
• Live music and entertainment from Jake Martin, The Dam Band, and Mothers of Mayhem!
• Evening Balloon Glow where tethered balloons light up the night sky in a radiant display of fire and color.

Community Spirit at Its Core
The Eden Balloon Festival is entirely powered by community support—funded through donations, local business sponsorships, and countless hours of volunteer effort. Its heart lies in keeping the event accessible, welcoming, and family-friendly. If you would like to donate to the Eden Balloon Festival, please visit https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/eden-balloon-festival. For more information email [email protected].

For many, the festival is more than just a day out—it’s a chance to reconnect with neighbors, celebrate local traditions, and create lasting memories in one of Utah’s most beautiful settings. Bring your lawn chairs, enjoy a wide variety of food truck options and spend time with friends and neighbors.

Stay for the spectacular balloon glow, a dazzling finale to the day.

Mark your calendar and join us at Eden Park on Saturday, September 26, for a memorable community celebration!
