When 550 hot air balloons take off from the same place at nearly the same time, there’s bound to be a traffic jam somewhere!
Billed as the largest hot air balloon event in the world, the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Fiesta has something for everyone. At Fiesta, you’ll find:
*local dancers of all ages sharing their cultural native dances in the afternoons
*chain saw carving contests by fund-raising firemen,
*local and international bands,
*special NASA exhibits,
*local artist arts & crafts
*Latin American craft & clothing booths
*food vendors galore (be sure to check out the breakfast burritos!)
*special aerial performers during the daytime
*fireworks displays
*souvenir shops
*and hundreds of brightly colored balloons and their teams!
So it’s not surprising there’s an air traffic jam at Fiesta.
