This week on What's Up Wednesday, we're just three weeks away from America's 250th birthday celebration, and that means it's time to order your patriotic gear from Balloon Fiesta Stuff.

Remember back in April when we told you about our new collaboration with Spirit Jersey? Today, we're excited to introduce Jersey number two in the collection. This officially licensed Spirit Jersey and America 250 design features the America 250 logo on the left chest and silver glitter puff print artwork across the back, showcasing Balloon Fiesta and capturing the sparkle of fireworks lighting up the sky as we celebrate our nation's birthday.

If you're not familiar with the Spirit Jersey brand, their products are known for premium fabrics, quality craftsmanship, and an oversized, relaxed fit that combines comfort with effortless style.

If you're more of a T-shirt person, check out our new America 250 T-shirt. This olive green tee features the Balloon Fiesta logo in red, white, and blue on the front left chest, along with a commemorative back design featuring 1776-2026, America 250, and 15 red, white, and blue balloons in flight. Wear the T-shirt during the heat of the day, and when it's time for fireworks, layer your new America 250 Spirit Jersey over the top and keep the celebration going in style.

And you can't celebrate without a beverage or two, so why not show your spirit with our Red, White, and Blue Silipint drinkware collection? We have four brand-new designs available, ranging from the shot glass and the Shumber (a shot glass with a handle), to the pint glass and the Barrel, which holds a whopping 25 ounces of your favorite refreshment. Silipint drinkware is flexible, durable, lightweight, and designed for both hot and cold beverages. They're freezer, microwave, and dishwasher safe, making them perfect for backyard parties, fireworks shows, camping trips, and summer celebrations.

If you're hosting the party this Fourth of July, be sure to check out our outdoor category for wind chimes, spinners, and lawn flags to help add to the festivities. This is a great week to place your order and have it delivered in time for the holiday. Of course, you can also shop in person, or shop online and select free in-store pickup. The Gift Shop is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Please note that we will be closed on July 3rd.

Finally, last week we told you about the upcoming special edition of Balloon Fiesta Live!, remember it's focused on the 2026 line up of our merchandise? And then we gave you a link to watch the premiere of the show, which by the way is at 10 AM MDT, today. However, the technology gremlins got to us and scrambled the link we provided. So let's just give it to you again. www.balloonfiesta.com/experience-the-fiesta/live/, although BalloonFiestaLive.com should take you to that page as well. Anyway, we hope to see you at 10 for the premiere and if you missed it, the same page has the on demand replay.

As always, thanks for your support of Balloon Fiesta and Balloon Fiesta Stuff.
