The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is the premier international ballooning event, powered by the perfect October climate and a phenomenon called the "Albuquerque Box" (a combination of weather patterns and geographic landscape, the box allows balloonists to control and even retrace their adventure).
The place to be in October is Balloon Fiesta Park. The 360-acre Park with 100 acres of grass and booths boasts balloons and concessions selling everything from traditional New Mexican food to balloon memorabilia. Each year balloon teams from around the world participate in the event, and news coverage originates from more than 50 countries. It has become the most photographed event in the world.
This event first ran in 1972.
