This festival can change dependent on different factors. If you are the kind which is impossible year 1 (this is decided by getting a coin in the cake at the harvest festival the previous fall). If you are not king you will either let the ballon fly with everyone else or the king might ask you to ride in the balloon. If you are king you can decide who you want to ride with you. Below is images and video of everyone you can choose. You can choose the 5 girls, plus any bachelors that are there and two of the small children. Some characters will deny the opportunity.
I have found the following will go in the balloon:
Ann
Elli
Gray
Harris
Jeff
Kai
Karen
Kent
Mary
May
Popuri
