Local New Orleans Balloon Artist Selected to Showcase Skills at the Big Balloon Build
Hundreds applied, only 80 selected, to create an immersive balloon land out of 150,000+ balloons in Northern Indiana to support charity. 

Elkhart, IN (January 29, 2024) – Danielle Detiege, a talented balloon artist in the New Orleans area, has been selected to join a team of the world’s best balloon artists to create an amazing balloon wonderland in Northern Indiana. All proceeds from the event will benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Michiana.

The Big Balloon Build is an international balloon event created out of 150,000+ biodegradable balloons. This April, Detiege, will work with other balloon artists to transform the Northern Indiana Event Center into a larger-than-life, fully immersive balloon carnival. 

“We will have tightrope walkers, a giant Ferris wheel, clowns, and more - all made entirely out of balloons! And our artists will create this entire exhibit in just four days, working April 22th-25th, before it opens to the public,” said Stuart Davies, director of the Big Balloon Build. “We are thrilled to have Danielle part of the team, helping us create this massive event and raising important funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Michiana.”

Detiege is donating her time and talents as a balloon artist, bringing joy and aid to children. Detiege started NOLA Party Boutique in 2009. It started when her creative additions to her son’s parties were requested by attendees for their parties.  Detiege was selected from hundreds of applicants to participate in the Big Balloon Build in Northern Indiana. This is her fifth time being selected for the Big Balloon Build. 

“I am so excited to be a part of another Big Balloon Build helping bring joy through the art of balloons around the world. There is nothing like seeing the emotions of the community when they experience the finished design for the first time. It makes it all worth it!” says Detiege.
