The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is celebrating 50 years of painting the New Mexico sky with bright colors! Hundreds of giant balloons fill the air with their graceful dance as they take flight. Whether in the dewy, early morning light or under a dark, stary sky, thousands of people flock to see these delicate giants break free from the bonds of gravity as they take flight. This world-famous event has become known as the Spirit of the Winds, a beautiful and incredibly fitting name. So, pack a suitcase and join us for this spectacular experience. You’ll be blown away and come home with bragging rights, pictures, and unforgettable memories.
