There is something about hot air balloons that makes me happy. Maybe its the bright, whimsical colors, or maybe it is the freedom that they suggest. Whatever it is, many people share this sentiment. For that reason, there is the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. This local event has been delighting and enchanting locals and visitors alike for 49 years. The 2021 celebration promises to be bigger and better than ever!

From October 2 until October 10, enchanting balloons will fill the air over New Mexico! This event promises to be heartwarming. It is hard not to feel moved when you see balloons fill the sky, floating peacefully above gorgeous desert scenery! It will also be beautiful- the balloons will be gorgeous, of course, but the weather will also be UNREAL. New Mexico's fall is full of blue skies and crisp breezes that'll make you never want to go back inside!
