Hot Air Balloons for Events & Cities
Nothing draws a crowd — or a camera — like a hot air balloon. As a working balloon company, this is our craft. We bring tethered rides, dawn mass ascensions, and glowing evening balloon displays to civic celebrations, grand openings, fairs, and festivals of every size.
- Tethered rides that give guests a safe, crowd-pleasing lift right from your site.
- Balloon glows & night glows choreographed to music for a stunning after-dark centerpiece.
- Special-shape & branded balloons that put your city, sponsor, or brand in the sky.
- Mass ascensions for a headline moment worthy of a signature annual event.
A Full Sky of Spectacle
Pair your balloons with any of these show elements — or let us produce the entire evening.
Giant Show Kites
Enormous inflatable show kites — octopuses, whales, and custom shapes soaring hundreds of feet overhead — fill a daytime skyline with color and motion. A family favorite that transforms parks, beaches, and downtowns into a moving gallery, wind permitting.
Laser Shows
High-output lasers paint beams, patterns, and imagery across the night — choreographed to your soundtrack and even projected onto water, buildings, or clouds of haze. A crowd-stopping, weather-friendly alternative or companion to fireworks.
Drone Light Shows
Swarms of synchronized drones draw your logo, mascot, or a full animated story in mid-air. Quiet, reusable, and endlessly customizable, a drone show is the modern showpiece for brand launches, anniversaries, and civic milestones.
Fireworks & Pyrotechnics
The classic grand finale, done right. Working with licensed pyrotechnicians, we design and coordinate aerial fireworks and close-proximity effects — fully permitted and safety-managed — to send your crowd home talking about it.
Event Production Management
The spectacle is only half the job. Behind every seamless show is a plan — and Wicked Balloons manages the whole of it. From the first site walk to the final load-out, we act as your single point of contact and keep every moving part on schedule and on budget.
