Narrative:
[Bna] ILS 20L. Flight and majority of approach uneventful. We broke out of the clouds at about 700 feet on the approach. At the 500 feet call out; I observed a rather large party balloon along our flight path. I disconnected the auto pilot and maneuvered to the right to avoid hitting it. This maneuver was followed by a go-around due to the approach not being stabilized. I called for the go-around then we followed the missed approach. Individuals on the ground should find a better way to secure their party balloons.
