This week on What's Up Wednesday, we're kicking off our Fall Clearance and Early Black Friday Pricing Sale, welcoming the first returning 2026 merchandise to the shelves, and looking ahead to next week's big milestone: our 250th edition and the start of a new season of merchandise!
Why wait until Black Friday to save? With fall in the air and the holiday shopping season just around the corner, we're bringing you Black Friday pricing 30 days early! What started as a Fall Sale has grown into a Fall Clearance Sale, and now we're adding some serious savings to the mix. Almost every non-dated item in the store is on sale! That means there's a whole lot more to explore than you might expect. Whether you're shopping for yourself, looking for gifts, or just want to add a little more Balloon Fiesta to your everyday life, this is a great time to browse.
Looking for something to wear? Check out windbreakers, T-shirts, beanies, socks, polos, jackets, and caps. And don't overlook our Signature Style collection! This premium collection features Balloon Fiesta-branded apparel from well-known names like Nike, The North Face, Tommy Bahama, Nautica, and Original Penguin. These are quality pieces that look great well beyond Balloon Fiesta—and now you can get them at sale prices. It's a terrific opportunity to pick up a little Signature Style for less.
Need a bag, an accessory, or something for home and travel? We've got those covered, too. Shop laptop bags, sling bags, cinch bags, tote bags, pin lanyards, collector bags, sunglasses, tumblers, chairs, sunshades, license plate frames, water bottles, magnets, and more. There are plenty of ways to show your Balloon Fiesta spirit, whether you're heading out on the road, relaxing at home, or getting ready for next year's event.
There's more on sale than you'll see on the first page! Our On Sale category has multiple pages of merchandise, so don't stop at the first few bargains. Keep clicking through—you never know what you'll find! And one more thing: this sale is in addition to our annual December clearance sale, when we'll mark down the remaining 2026 dated merchandise. So here's the plan: shop now for great deals on non-dated merchandise, then come back in about a month for the big year-end closeout of 2026 items.
Black Friday prices. No need to wait. Start browsing and see what catches your eye!
The first of the 2026 merchandise is back on the shelves! It's the jacket and vest combination supplied to our sponsors—and the same outerwear you saw the Balloon Fiesta Live! team wearing on the air. The black, medium-weight jacket features a detachable hood, sky-blue interior and accents, and a full-color embroidered The Scenic Route logo across the back. The coordinating black puffer vest features the Balloon Fiesta logo on the back of the neck. Of course, you'll want to check out the accompanying cap as well.
As with all returning merchandise, sizes and quantities are limited. If you see something you like, don't wait too long!
Next week, we'll celebrate the 250th weekly edition of What's Up Wednesday with a special edition you won't want to miss. We'll feature some cool Chuck Jones items in a special What's Up Doc, Wednesday, launch our new Pin of the Month series, and we're even working on a special offer to mark edition #250.
So spread the word, share this email with your fellow Balloon Fiesta fans, and stay subscribed. We've got some fun things planned for next week!
