Balloon Installations & Entertainment in NYC
ECO-friendly
BALLOON COUTURE
Wearable sculpture at extraordinary scale.
Architectural balloon dresses, towering stilt costumes, and sculptural wearable art designed to command a room. Our balloon couture performers create a moving visual centerpiece for galas, corporate events, brand activations, holiday events, trade shows, and large-scale celebrations.
ROAMING CHARACTERS
Meet the unexpected.
Larger-than-life balloon creatures designed to wander, interact, pose, and play with the crowd. Our roaming entertainment turns an event into a constantly changing photo opportunity—ideal for festivals, public events, corporate celebrations, and experiential activations.
PUPPETS + CREATURES
Bigger. Stranger. More alive.
Original balloon puppets and sculptural creatures built for movement, interaction, and spectacle. From oversized birds and fantastical animals to entirely new species, these pieces are designed for parades, festivals, cultural events, and immersive experiences.
CUSTOM COMMISSIONS
Give us a world. We'll build something for it.
We create original balloon costumes, characters, and roaming performances around your brand, theme, environment, or creative brief. Custom colors, characters, sculptural forms, and branded details can be incorporated into the design to create a performance that exists specifically for your event.
Art that moves through the crowd.
Balloons, Ink creates larger-than-life strolling entertainment and balloon performance in NYC, transforming balloons into sculptural costumes, original characters, puppets, and wearable works of art.
​
Designed to move through an event rather than stay on a stage, our roaming performers interact with guests, create spontaneous photo opportunities, and become part of the environment itself.
​
Each piece is conceived as both performance and sculpture—from towering balloon couture and fantastical creatures to completely custom characters created for brands, institutions, festivals, and special events.
WHY STROLLING?
Not a stage show. Not a mascot.
​
Our strolling balloon performers move freely through the event, meeting guests where they are and creating moments throughout the space.
​
They can welcome guests, roam cocktail hours, animate large venues, lead a parade, appear for scheduled photo moments, or simply emerge somewhere unexpected.
​
The event becomes the stage.
