Albuquerque
Balloon Fiesta featuring
Santa Fe

Dazzling
during the day, the spectacle of hundreds
of hot air balloons is even better when
they light up at dawn and dusk. See these
amazing displays, plus explore early Pueblo
life and the artists of Santa Fe.
History
The
Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta began in 1972,
launching 13 balloons from a shopping mall
parking lot. It has now grown to over 600
balloons launching from the Balloon Fiesta
Park’s 78-acre launch field. The Balloon
Glows were invented in 1979 when pilots
flew their inflated balloons, which
resembled holiday ornaments, on
Christmas Eve night as a thank you to Albuquerque
residents. |
