Society & Culture
Every October the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta creates an enchanted world of vibrant balloon-filled skies, special shaped balloon rodeos and twilight balloon glows. In Balloon Fiesta Park, visitors walk alongside the balloons, witnessing these colorful, graceful giants inflate and leave the ground against the backdrop of the cerulean desert sky. The number and enormity make you feel like a kid again, immersed in a wondrous world of color and light, of excitement and sound.
