Big Balloon Build

July20-24

The event is called the Big Balloon Build and it will be only the 4th of its kind in the United States and will not return to Northern Colorado anytime soon, if ever. We will have 75 balloon artists from around the world come to Greeley, donating their time and paying their own travel expenses. Using 125,000 balloons in 3 ½ days, they will build a one-of-a-kind immersive, balloon art installation in the ballroom of the Aims Welcome Center. Life Stories, a charity that advocates for children who have been abused or neglected in Weld County, will host 5 days of events to raise awareness and funds for their programs. Here's a very short video that shows what the Big Balloon Build looks like: https://youtu.be/zP3EH1JLTsQ. The attached press release contains additional information including how to purchase tickets.
