Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta
October 10-15, 2018
NOTE: THIS EVENT IS BEING COMBINED WITH THE GRAND CANYON / SEDONA, ARIZONA TRIP AS A SINGLE EVENT.
REGISTRATION OPENED AT NOON (EASTERN TIME) ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24. IT FILLED IN A MATTER OF MINUTES, AND NOW HAS A STANDBY LIST.
Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta will immediately follow the Grand Canyon / Sedona Red Rocks Tour. From Sedona we'll travel to Winslow, AZ and Gallup, NM enroute to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, one of the nations iconic events and the largest hot air balloon festival in the world.
Along the way, stop and explore the Meteor Crater, stand on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, and marvel at the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert during our three day transit to Albuquerque.
In Albuquerque we'll have W/E hookups on the Balloon Fiesta Park as we share four nights and days of the grace and spectacle of hundreds of brilliant balloons against a brilliant blue sky. Free shuttles will provide access to the launch field for launches, balloon glows, fireworks, visits with pilots and crews, shopping at the multiple vendors, and more.
Between flights we'll enjoy bus tours to ride the 2 1/2 mile aerial tram to the top of Sandia Peak, visit Old Town Albuquerque, and tour the ancient and still-occupied Acoma Pueblo, "Sky City." There's a lot more as we embark on an adventure that you'll long remember.
