Tips for Celebrating
Pride & the 4th of July in Style!

Whether you're marching in a Pride parade or celebrating Independence Day, there's no denying it—balloons make everything more festive! At Lights Camera Selfies, we’re here to make sure your parade presence is unforgettable for both participants and families cheering from the sidelines.
As your go-to source for biodegradable, eco-friendly balloon décor, we want to share a few fun tips (and our favorite balloon parade poles!) to help you get parade-ready in the most colorful and inclusive way.
Tip #1: Plan for All Ages & All Abilities
Parades are a community celebration, and that includes everyone. Here are some ways to make your parade appearance more inclusive:
Offer small flags, bead necklaces, or fans to hand out to kids and seniors.
Add signs or banners that reflect diversity, equality, patriotism and love for all.
Families on the sidewalk love interactive elements—balloon designs, bubbles, music, and even just friendly waves go a long way!
Tip #2: Stand Tall with Balloon Poles & Parade Props
We’re proud to offer custom balloon parade poles that are lightweight, vibrant, and parade-ready! These eye-catching designs are easy to carry and perfect for photo ops and waving to the crowd.

Tip #3: Embrace the Spirit of Both Holidays
Hosting or participating in a parade that celebrates both Pride Month and 4th of July? There’s plenty of room to honor freedom, diversity, and love all in one:
Combine rainbows with red, white & blue accents.
Use signs or décor that celebrate freedom for all and love is love.
Invite families, allies, and neighbors of all backgrounds to join your crew!
