The Great FoCo Water Balloon Toss | Fourth of July at The Exchange
About this Event
💦🇺🇸 Celebrate America's 250th Birthday at The Great FoCo Water Balloon Toss! 🇺🇸💦
This Fourth of July marks a historic milestone—America's 250th birthday—and we're celebrating the best way we know how: with a little friendly competition, plenty of laughs, and a classic summertime tradition.
Grab a partner and join us for the inaugural Great FoCo Water Balloon Toss, a free Fourth of July competition where teams of two will battle it out to see who can stay dry the longest and toss the farthest.
Whether you're competing with your child, your best friend, your spouse, or your most coordinated coworker, this classic summertime challenge is all about teamwork, strategy, and surviving one more catch than everyone else.
How It Works
• Teams of 2 will begin just a few feet apart.
• After each successful catch, both teammates will take one giant step backward.
• The farther apart you get, the more challenging the toss becomes.
• Drop the balloon, break the balloon, or miss the catch and your team is eliminated.
• The last team standing wins!
