Balloon Launch: Sending Love Skyward

We closed Fair Days with a powerful, peaceful moment: our annual balloon launch, where around 1,000 balloons made their way up to heaven, honoring those who are still fighting, remembering those we’ve lost, and celebrating those who’ve survived.

We wrote names. We shared stories. We looked to the sky together. This tradition reminds us: love always rises. 💕

Here’s to hope. Here’s to community. Here’s to riding this Fair Days high all the way into next year. 💗

See you in 2026.
