6th Birthday Party
When: March 2025
Where: Private Event
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
When: April 13, 2025

Grad Season
When: June 2025

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.
