General Info

Imagine over 500 colorful hot air balloons rising up at dawn over the New Mexico landscape… there's truly nothing like it, and the place to experience it is each October at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. Spectators and balloon pilots from all over the world gather (some even camping in their RVs) to watch mass ascensions held in the mornings and night events like a 'glowdeo' held in the evening. Music stages are set up during the day and performers stroll through the festival crowds. Every year the Balloon Fiesta kicks off on the first Saturday of October and continues for nine days.Imagine over 500 colorful hot air balloons rising up at dawn over the New Mexico landscape… there's truly nothing like it, and the place to experience it is each October at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.

Another fantastic year of fun filled hot air balloons! This is officially our annual family vacation... We can't wait year after to keep coming back to check out the new balloons! The food is great with sooo much variety. Activities are plenty and both early morning & night sessions are great. We love the later light show and fireworks! Can't wait to come back next year!!
