Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta

Each year in early October, the Albuquerque sky turns into a rainbow of colors at the International Balloon Fiesta, the largest ballooning event in the world. Start your morning at the Mass Ascension, where hundreds of balloons take off at once, and watch throughout the day as balloons in a variety of shapes and colors take to the sky. In the evening, enjoy the Balloon Glow when balloonists light their burners to illuminate the sky, followed by the After Glow fireworks show. While in town, visit the International Balloon Museum for more insight into the history and sport of ballooning.

Escorted tours that feature the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta are often part of longer itineraries that visit multiple cities throughout the western United States. These trips cover accommodations, guided sightseeing, many meals and transportation in the upfront rate.
