A must do event

I agree. Awesome time in 2018

We really enjoyed the Festival last fall.

We were there too. It was great

They are still undecided what to do this year. Talk is they may still hold it but not allow attendees onto the field.

Everyone should have this on their bucket list. Been twice and loved it both times.

Great photos! I've lived here since '76 so I've been a few times, when it was a much smaller event. The last time my late husband and I went was when we couldn't find our car in the parking lot! We decided it had gotten too big and quit going. Once I get my motorhome I'll plan on going some year when I can get an RV spot.

Word out today - The 2020 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta has been cancelled. I believe this is the first time it has ever been cancelled. I'm waiting for the local news in 45 minutes to hear more.

I just tried to book 1 night at an RV park in the area mid week. Oasis RV park is still showing sold out and others in the area want $100+ per night. maybe the parks are holding everyone to their ”no refund for cancellations” policy even though the festival was cancelled 2 months ago?

My guess is the event may be cancelled but balloonists may still gather and fly.
