Albuquerque
is the premier ballooning city due to the crystal
skies, perfect October climate and a phenomenon called
the "Albuquerque Box." With a combination of weather
patterns and geographic landscape, the box allows
balloonists to control and even retrace their adventure.
Balloon Fiesta Park covers over 200 acres and is filled
with balloons and vendors selling everything from
traditional New Mexican food to Balloon memorabilia.
Each year balloons come from around the world to participate
in the event and news coverage originates from more
than 50 countries. It has become the most photographed
event in the world. |
