Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta: Mass Ascension, Glowdeo & Fair Food!

In this Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta vlog, you’ll see what it’s really like to attend the world’s largest hot air balloon event. I capture two early-morning launches, including a stunning mass ascension where hundreds of balloons fill the sky over Albuquerque. You’ll also join me at the famous special shape Glowdeo night event, where unique character balloons light up the field in sync with music. Along the way, I explore the festival grounds, try classic fair food favorites like roasted corn and funnel cake, and share tips for visiting the Balloon Fiesta — from best viewing spots to what to expect with the crowds. Whether you’re planning your first trip or just love New Mexico culture, this vlog gives you the sights, sounds, and flavors of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
