ST. LOUIS \u2013 July 6, 2021 \u2013 The Great Forest Park Balloon Race, presented by PNC Bank, has its sights set on returning to Forest Park for the 49th<\/sup> annual event, Sept. 17-18. The recently renovated 30-acre Emerson Central Fields in Forest Park will provide an ideal setting for bringing families and friends together for two days of outdoor fun, \u201cwow\u201d moments, new experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.<\/p>

PNC Bank returns as the presenting sponsor of The Great Forest Park Balloon Race, following a year in which the event was reimagined as a series of \u201cLift Up St. Louis\u201d tribute flights to honor essential workers, healthcare heroes, educators and those standing up for change. While event organizers eagerly anticipate welcoming spectators to Forest Park in 2021, the \u201cLift Up St. Louis\u201d sentiments of gratitude and strength will remain.<\/p>

\u201cThe Great Forest Park Balloon Race is eternally grateful to PNC Bank and all the event sponsors, pilots and partners for their patience and support during our planning process and commitment to helping keep the event a free, family, fun weekend for all to enjoy,\u201d said Jessica Stegen, director of communications and event production for The Great Forest Park Balloon Race. \u201cWe are so thrilled to welcome St. Louis back to Forest Park to soak up the sights and sounds of the beautiful balloons and festivities this September.\u201d<\/p>

The event will follow the lead of city and state officials, as well as the sanitization guidelines and protocols established by the CDC and local agencies. Extra hand sanitizing stations, additional picnic areas and cashless\/touchless payment systems are just a few of the measures the GFPBR team is adopting to help ensure the safest, healthiest and most patron-friendly event possible.<\/p>

\u201cThe Great Forest Park Balloon Race has a wonderful history of bringing St. Louis together \u2013 even last year when the event could not be presented in its traditional format,\u201d said Michael Scully, PNC regional president for St. Louis. \u201cAll of us at PNC Bank look forward to seeing balloons fill the sky again, with renewed appreciation for those who \u2018Lift Up St. Louis\u2019 and are helping our community continue on the road to recovery.\u201d<\/p>

Additional updates and announcements, as well as \u201cmeet the pilot\u201d feature content, will be posted at www.greatforestparkballoonrace.com<\/a> and the event\u2019s social media channels:<\/p>
