Description

From the festival founder’s boast at a party in 1971 that he could fly his newly bought balloon, to an annual celebration that now draws more than half one million folks to New Mexico, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is a story of good times and friendships formed over decades of ballooning. An ordinary of 700 balloonists from scores of nations take part within the October event, lifting off with the rising sun within the crisp Albuquerque air and floating against the turquoise skies and salmon-pink Sandía Mountains. Traditional balloons mix with specially designed balloons such as shade-wearing suns and Darth Vader to delight the tens of thousands of spectators below. The joy continues into the nights with balloon glows and fireworks. More than 150 images capture the colours, crowds, and camaraderie that experience made Albuquerque the ballooning capital of the arena.
