From the festival founder's boast at a party in 1971 that he could
fly his newly bought balloon, to an annual celebration that now
draws more than half a million people to New Mexico, the
Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is a story of good times
and friendships formed over decades of ballooning. An average of
700 balloonists from scores of nations participate in the October
event, lifting off with the rising sun in the crisp Albuquerque air
and floating against the turquoise skies and salmon-pink Sandia
Mountains. Traditional balloons mix with specially designed
balloons such as shade-wearing suns and Darth Vader to thrill the
tens of thousands of spectators below. The excitement continues
into the nights with balloon glows and fireworks. More than 150
images capture the colors, crowds, and camaraderie that have made
Albuquerque the ballooning capital of the world."
