Captain Geech Closes out Balloons
Over 66
[September 02, 2026]
After the glow, a large crowd
gathered downtown on the corner of Kickapoo and McLean as Captain
Geech closed out Saturday’s festivities. People gathered in lawn
chairs and stood, while some gathered in front of Spirited Republic
or the Alley Bi to hear the music. The band played a mixture of
country, rock, and pop hits from several different decades. They
paid tribute to Dolly Parton by singing her hit “9 to 5”. They also
played songs by Journey and Earth, Wind & Fire. Many in the crowd
danced and sang along. Food trucks stayed to serve festival
favorites, and Guzzardo’s served warm slices of pepperoni and cheese
pizza on the sidewalk until they sold out.
