92-Foot Tall Vincent Van Gogh Hot Air Balloon Stops In Pittsburgh

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - If you happen to see a massive Vincent Van Gogh head in Oakland on Friday morning - no need to be alarmed, it's a planned stop.

The 92-foot-tall hot air balloon is stopping in Oakland on a cross-country journey in honor of the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit in town.

It's launching on Flagstaff Hill at 8:00 a.m. and will float in the area for about two hours.

They're also holding a social media contest while the balloon floats in the air.

All people will need to do is get a picture of the balloon and post it to social media.

The first 100 posts will win a pair of tickets to the exhibit.
