This week on What’s Up Wednesday, RV space reservations open today, and our Valentine’s Special is officially live.
Hopefully, you caught last week’s special edition of Balloon Fiesta Live! to get ready for the opening of 2026 RV reservations. The waiting room opens at 8:40 a.m., with reservations going live 20 minutes later at 9:00 a.m., all times Mountain Standard Time. RV spaces sell out very quickly, so good luck if you’re trying to secure a spot. Even if an RV reservation isn’t in your plans this year, the Special Edition includes merchandise updates and about 20 minutes of competition highlights from the first two days of the 2025 Fiesta.
Valentine’s Day is just a little more than two weeks away, which makes now the perfect time to find a special Balloon Fiesta gift for your sweetheart. In addition to the jewelry collection we featured last week, don’t overlook our wide range of warm—and cool-looking—clothing. From jackets and hoodies to long- and short-sleeve T-shirts, polos, pants, pajamas, jogging outfits, beanies, caps, socks, and even slippers, there really is something for everyone.
And here’s a great bonus. With any purchase of $25 or more, you’ll receive a free Shape Acrylic Earring set. Choose from the Sloth (Tito), the Cow (Milky Way), or the Unicorn (Alicorn). Simply add $25 worth of items to your cart, then add your choice of earrings, and they’ll automatically be reduced to free. Order early to help ensure delivery by Valentine’s Day, or select free in-store pickup. We’ll also be open from 9:00 to 12:00 on Saturday, February 7, for an extra shopping and pickup opportunity, in addition to our regular hours of 9:00 to 5:00, Monday through Friday.
Finally, as we wrap up the first month of the new year, if you’re still missing a 2026 calendar, this is your last call. We have a limited number left at half price. Filled with beautiful balloon photography and historical ballooning dates, it’s a great way to keep the spirit of ballooning with you all year long. And yes, we’re already working on the 2027 calendar, with a planned release around July.
We’ll see you next week, and again next month with February’s Pin of the Month and more. Until then, thank you for your continued support of Balloon Fiesta and Balloon Fiesta Stuff.
