6th Birthday Party

We usually feature large events and fundraisers in this section. But hold that thought and LOOK at this kitty themed birthday installation. Cat foils, fringe, bouquets, signage, and the sweetest pink and green colour palette. And yep, that’s yarn. Are you “kitting” me?

UPCOMING EVENTS

The Kid Expo

This trade show is one of our favourites every year. Activities, products, services, and snacks, all dedicated to the little ones! We’ll be there bringing the balloon magic, and we hope to see you there too!

Grad Season


When: June 2025

Where: Balloon Bar YQR (and beyond!) 


The pipeline from April to June is violent. June is our busiest balloonin’ month (by far!) This is your reminder to get those grad orders in early!


COMMUNITY FIRST, ALWAYS

We’re standing with Sask families and affordable daycare. 

Shayla Dietrich is one of Balloon Bar’s founders, an incredible mom, and balloon royalty (AKA, Tanna’s sister). Last month, she shared her concerns with the Leader-Post about the future of $10/day daycare in Saskatchewan.
