50,000 balloons
“ When I saw the impact the event was having on the community ; I knew I wanted to bring it home .” — SARA MEYER
Hosted by a local balloon company , Wisconsin Balloon Décor , The Big Balloon Build will bring 60 balloon artists from around the world together to create an installation using more than 50,000 balloons . Over the course of four days , a local gymnasium will be transformed into a balloon wonderland , after which the installation will open to the public as a fundraiser for Inspiration Ministries , a local charity that serves adults with disabilities .
Inspired by the signature sponsor , Kunes RV , the theme of the Wisconsin event is “ Inspired by the great outdoors ,” highlighting the spirit of adventure and beauty of
Wisconsin outdoors . And keeping with the theme , the location of the build is on the beautiful shores of Lake Geneva at Covenant Harbor . After participating in the first Big Balloon Build to ever take place in the United States last April in Vincennes , Indiana , Sara Meyer , owner of Wisconsin Balloon Decor , knew the event would thrive in her local town of Lake Geneva .
“ It was the largest installation I ’ ve ever been part of , which was incredible . But when I saw the impact the event was having on the community ; I knew I wanted to bring it home . Thousands of people came to view the balloons , and we helped raise $ 120,000 for charity . All because of balloons !”
The Big Balloon Build , Lake Geneva , will include a ticketed VIP event , a Breakfast with the Easter Bunny , a food drive , and a popping party ! Tickets will go on sale in early January .
