The Spiedie Fest & Balloon Rally is one of Greater Binghamton’s signature summer traditions, bringing together local food, live music, family-friendly activities, and spectacular hot air balloon launches at Otsiningo Park. What began as a local cooking competition has grown into a major regional celebration, attracting more than 100,000 attendees each year.
For Greenlight Networks, the festival was an opportunity to be part of that tradition while connecting with the people and families who make the Greater Binghamton community special. As a proud sponsor and participant, our team spent the weekend meeting residents, talking with customers, and sharing more about Greenlight fiber internet.
From the festival’s food and entertainment to the excitement of the balloon rally, there was something for everyone throughout the weekend. The event showcased the unique character of the Southern Tier and demonstrated how local traditions can bring people together year after year.
Our team was excited to be part of the celebration and connect with the community beyond the fiber internet services we provide. Community events like Spiedie Fest give us the opportunity to meet people face-to-face, hear their experiences, answer questions, and build relationships in the communities we serve.
