EVERY October, a
flotilla of hot-air and gas balloons ascends from 365-acre Balloon Fiesta Park.
Thrill to the roar of hundreds of burners, as the giant teardrops and special
shape balloons come to life before liftoff. Come at dawn or dusk, when a velvet
blue sky and soft “jewel box” light make for a photographer’s dream. The
“Albuquerque Box”, a combination of October weather patterns and local
geography, often lets balloons make round-trips.
Started in 1972 with a mere 13 balloons, the world’s premier
balloon event now draws more than 600 balloonists and over 750,000 guests.
North America’s largest annual international event is also considered the
world’s most photographed. The mass flights of these colorful giants create
lasting memories. Concessions, arts and crafts, and musical entertainment
complement this nine-day festival, which will be held on October 4-12, 2014.
