Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
Albuquerque provides some of the most picturesque views in the Southwest, but during the International Balloon Fiesta at Balloon Fiesta Park each fall, the city's skies provide just as much of a feast for the eyes as its landscape does. The city's unique multicultural heritage and an estimated 550 hot-air balloons elevate an already enriching Albuquerque experience.
