Mayor Thomas M. Menino, Boston Parks Commissioner Antonia Pollak, and Four Seasons Hotel Boston General Manager Bill Taylor will welcome Boston’s most famous waterfowl back for the season during the 22nd Annual Return of the Swans to the Public Garden on Tuesday, May 4. The festivities will begin with entertainment at 11 a.m.

After wintering at the Franklin Park Zoo, Romeo and Juliet will once again reside in the Public Garden Lagoon. The swans will be returned to the lagoon following a parade that begins at 11:30 a.m. at the Beacon and Charles Street corner of the park near the Make Way for Ducklings statue. Carts beautifully decorated by Boston’s own Winston Flowers will help usher the swans to the release site.

Led by a brass band, the parade will continue to the George Washington Statue at the Commonwealth Avenue/Arlington Street entrance, over the pedestrian bridge, and end on the Boylston Street side of the lagoon for the official Return of the Swans ceremony at 11:45 a.m.

The accompanying entertainment program, sponsored in part by The Friends of The Public Garden and beginning at 11 a.m., will include a brass band, face painters, and readings of Make Way for Ducklings led by the Boston Park Rangers.

The Four Seasons Hotel Boston will provide refreshments and in-kind sponsor H.P. Hood LLC will offer tasty product samples.
