Rob Driscoll 

Pride Month is a vibrant celebration of love, identity, diversity, and community—and it’s also a wonderful opportunity for balloon artists and face painters to showcase their skills, creativity, and support for the LGBTQ+ community.

At BAPIA, we know how powerful our industry can be in bringing people together and turning events into unforgettable experiences. So let’s talk about how you can get involved this June, promote your services, and celebrate with purpose.

 Why Pride Month Matters for Our Industry

Pride events are colourful, creative, and full of joy—making them a natural fit for what we do best! Whether it’s community parades, local markets, corporate celebrations, or private parties, balloons and face painting can add the kind of magic that makes Pride truly shine.

As a BAPIA member, showing your support and allyship is also a way to reflect your business values: inclusivity, acceptance, and love.



 Ideas to Promote Your Services This Pride Month

Here are a few ideas to help you get involved, promote your business, and stand out with pride:

3. Showcase Your Support on Social Media

  • Share photos of your Pride-themed work throughout June.

  • Use hashtags like #PrideMonth, #LoveIsLove, #BalloonsWithPride, and #FacePaintingForPride.

  • Don’t forget to tag BAPIA - #bapiaparty so we can help amplify your posts!

4. Collaborate with Other Creatives

  • Team up with fellow BAPIA members, drag performers, or LGBTQ+ owned businesses for joint promotions or styled shoots.

  • These collaborations often create powerful content and strengthen local networks.

5. Donate or Support LGBTQ+ Charities

  • Pledge a portion of your June profits to an LGBTQ+ organisation.

  • Offer free or discounted services for youth centres or charities hosting Pride events.

 Be Visible, Be Respectful, Be Proud

It’s not just about rainbows—it’s about standing in solidarity. If you’re promoting Pride, make sure your message is authentic and respectful. Representation and allyship matter.

As professionals in a creative, community-focused industry, we have the opportunity to make everyone feel seen, celebrated, and safe.
