Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta: Dawn Patrol to Fireworks

Balloon Fiesta Must See Activities The Fiesta is broken into AM and PM session. We recommend you attend at least one of each session as they offer up different experiences. The AM session includes: ▪️Dawn Patrol: The first balloons up to determine weather conditions. They light up and look spectacular against the dark sky. ▪️ Mass Ascension: Seeing hundreds of balloons ascend is a sight to see. The first day of the Fiesta there was over 600 balloons! The PM session includes: ▪️Glow: Hundreds of balloons inflate and light up as the sunsets. ▪️After Glow: A group of highly trained jumpers fly through the sky with fireworks shooting off their legs. ▪️Fireworks: Hands down one of the best shows we've ever seen are at the Fiesta. There is nothing quite like being on the field during the show. There you have it, a simple breakdown of the main events at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Have I convinced you to add this to your bucket list?
