Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta

October 3-5, 2025

Imagine over 500 colorful hot air balloons rising at dawn over the New Mexico landscape! Be a part of the biggest balloon event in the world! Spectators and balloon pilots from all over the world gather to watch mass ascensions held in the mornings and glowing balloons at night. You can experience the 52nd Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta up close and personal as we have reserved seating in the VIP sections for each event this year.

We depart after lunch on Friday, October 3. After checking in to our four-star hotel for the weekend we drive everyone to Old Town Albuquerque for dinner and shopping. Then, it is off to bed early!

Saturday morning we depart the hotel at 4:15am to arrive at the fiesta field in time to enjoy the first morning balloon ascension of the fiesta. A gourmet breakfast buffet will be served, and everyone can walk around the balloons or stay in the VIP reserved seating section to enjoy the festivities. After departing the fiesta field mid-morning, we drive to Anderson Abruzzo International Balloon Museum, the world’s premier balloon museum facility dedicated to the art, culture, science, history, sport and spectacle of ballooning! Afterward we will enjoy lunch at Buca di Beppo, then back to the hotel to rest. That evening we head back to the fiesta to enjoy another gourmet dinner buffet and the Evening Glow event of gleaming balloons and fireworks as well.

Our final morning in Albuquerque, we leave the hotel very early again to experience another amazing morning ascension and gourmet breakfast buffet. There will be time to walk around the fiesta field, talk to the pilots, and balloon rides, if you choose (your cost).
