Our Story

Many non profits lost their ability for fundraising since Covid appeared. After hearing about how their efforts were effected and their funds running low, we decided to create an event where groups could fundraise.

We invite your groups to provide an activity for our visitors to help you fundraise. Examples are quoits or corn hole tournament, dunk tank, bounce house etc. Space for non-profits that want to run a fundraising activity is free and plentiful. We are looking for YOUR non-profit to set up your fundraising project at this event.

If your non-profit simply wants to set up and gain exposure, there is a small vendor fee. A balloon festival is a great way to meet people that are interested in learning more about your organization.
