The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta® is set to launch from Balloon Fiesta Park, October 2-10, 2021. The 49th event, themed “Time Flies,” will feature more than 600 hot air balloons, of which 100 are anticipated to be special shaped balloons. Pilots from all over the world have been invited to fly in the popular international event.

Event organizers are eager to welcome guests back to Balloon Fiesta Park in October, after having to postpone 2020’s event due to COVID-19. Last year was the only year the event has not been held since it began in 1972. “We are very excited to celebrate this year’s event with our pilots, guests, volunteers, sponsors and concessionaires. We are focused on creating a safe environment for all to comfortably enjoy 2021’s festivities,” said Sam Parks, Balloon Fiesta director of operations. More details on Balloon Fiesta’s public health plan, including COVID-19-safe practices will be released this summer.
