Is it an all day thing or just morning take offs etc? What time is good to go tomorrow?

Morning starts at 6:00 a.m but the actual takeoff is closer to 6:45 or 7:00. I'd get there by 6:00 though if you want to watch them fill the balloons and get some good shots before the actually liftoff. Also, tonight and tomorrow night at 18:30 (6:30 p.m.) they are doing the Evening Glow. If that is like other events I have seen, the balloons will be filled and they pilots will use the burners to light them up. Makes for great images.

Here's the location of the event (based on the description in the video). I am not sure if the evening event will take place at this location.
