balloon release
Ceremonial balloon launch
A balloon release is the ceremonial act of freeing multiple helium-filled balloons into the sky, typically at memorials, celebrations, or awareness events: They held a balloon release in memory of the victims.
Once common, the practice has drawn criticism for environmental harm—balloons return as litter that endangers wildlife.
Many jurisdictions now restrict or ban balloon releases.
