Summer's just about over, but there's still time to get in some last-minute summer activities. Like a water balloon fight, for example. When was the last time you had one of those? Whether it was yesterday or 20 years ago, it's unlikely that you've ever had a water balloon fight as big as this one. It took 4,000 people and 120,000 water balloons to make this the "World's largest water balloon fight." See for yourself how amazing it was in this cute music video commemorating the occasion.

My family would have loved participating in this for our blog,“Go BIG or Go Home!” It's a chronicle of what happens when our small-town family visits the “world’s largest”…whatever! http://GoBIGorGoHomeblog.com

Hey thanks for adding 120,000 balloons to the landfill and wasting the energy to produce said balloons and pumping the water to fill them. I'm really sure there was just no other, more environmentally friendly, way to realize your artisitic vision.

Specifically, BYU's record was: 4,000 people. 120.000 balloons.

New UK record: 5,976 people. 153,497 balloons. All officially tallied.

This is the old BYU record. They surpassed the University of Kentucky record. BUT, the UK folks came back right away and re-broke just last week.
