Now we need your help to make our BIG choice.

You have seen the five options for the 2026 Parade Balloon.

Last year’s parade balloons were a huge hit, and our parade title sponsor —the Wellesley Country Club—has generously agreed to make it possible again.

Once again, the Wellesley Boys Lacrosse Team has volunteered to guide the balloons safely down the parade route, avoiding trees and traffic lights along the way. And, our Wellesley police will oversee us all! (The parade “field” is nearly two miles long down Washington Street from the Community Center to the Grove Street Post Office!)

All that remains is your vote!
