Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta | Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta Heritage Committee
5 posts
From its humble beginning in 1972 when 13 hot-air balloons ascended from an Albuquerque shopping center parking lot to a stunning annual gathering of 500-plus aeronauts, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta lives on as the most-photographed air show on the planet. As you page through this book, imagine yourself going along for the ride and soaring to new heights. Or if you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, imagine yourself strolling among hundreds of swaying giants, seemingly lost in a dizzying kaleidoscope of color. Join in the camaraderie that draws pilots and fans to Albuquerque from all over the world. You will find yourself mesmerized by the Balloon Fiestas signature events and its spirited competition among hot-air balloon pilots. As an added attraction, step back in time to when hydrogen-gas balloons once graced Albuquerque skies and enjoy the fascinating world of silent flight, the Americas Challenge Gas Balloon Race.

Just got home after spending a week with my dad in Albuquerque! It rained all week and half of the Balloon Fiesta days were red flagged. But it was so much fun hanging out with my dad in his new city, and then I got this amazing experience on my last morning in ABQ (literally before going to the airport) when the weather cleared up - it was magical! ❤️

ChaoticMissAdventures I was there Wednesday morning! Was super lucky I also bought tickets for one of the days they flew! It was an awesome experience, glad you got to experience it too! 2y
Suet624 Fantastic! 2y

Amandajoy Seeing the balloons is always fun! I hope you got to smell (and taste) some green chile while you were there. My bro & sis-in-law live there and just sent me pics of bags of green chile. Made me wish I was there! 2y
swishandflick @ChaoticMissAdventures Wasn't it amazing?? I wish we could have gone Wed but both my dad and I had to work. The other days we tried were all red flagged so I was super glad they went up on Sunday. 2y
swishandflick @Amandajoy Yes!! My dad made sure I had PLENTY of green chile 😋 2y
ChaoticMissAdventures @swishandflick Sunday actually looks like it was better than Wednesday! It rained on us a bit and we had no sun or blue skies. Still amazing to see though. 2y
