You cannot release more than 25 helium balloons at once.

The Law Explained

Environmental advocates pushed for this law to protect wildlife, particularly marine animals that frequently mistake deflated balloons for food. Launching a massive cluster of helium balloons is now considered a form of prohibited littering that carries significant fines. So, you will need to find a more eco-friendly way to celebrate your next big event.
