Balloon Fiesta
Balloon FiestaThe Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta began in 1972 with 16 balloons. In 1995, some 1.6 million people turned out to watch 670 balloons from 16 different countries.
One of the most popular events is the balloon glow, in which balloon pilots light their burners to illuminate their balloons in a spectacular nighttime tableau. Since then, it has become one of the fiesta's main attractions.
A ride in a balloon will cost $135 to $175 per person, depending on day and time, for an almost hour-long ride. Call World Balloon Corporation (505-293-6800), the fiesta's exclusive ride concessionaire. Besides taking an aerial jaunt, people wanting to do more than watch and partake of the food offerings can get involved by joining a balloon chase crew. The fiesta has a committee set up to handle the crews. To sign up, or to get information on the fiesta, call 505-821-1000.
