Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta was first established in 1972 and has become the largest hot air ballon event in the world. Visitors come from all over the world every year to experience this amazing event.
Spectators can enjoy the festival by walking around and viewing the balloon launches, eating and shopping. Some visitors opt to go for a balloon ride while they are in Albuquerque, reservations can be made in advance for this added experience.
Balloon Fiesta visitors should make lodging arrangements 9-12 months in advance, as the city of Albuquerque is taken over by the Balloon Fiesta for nine days every October. There are special events that should not be missed including the early morning glow launches, special shape rodeo and the "After Glow" Fireworks show.
