[Albuquerque] During the nine day event, there will be a ‘Fiesta Fun Fly.’ Kites Aloft will begin at the conclusion of the morning Mass Ascension and ballooning activities. Fiesta Organizers cordially invite all kiteflyers to bring their collection of kites and share their works of art with the world. This is strictly a fun fly and an opportunity to witness. The greatest ‘flying’ events of the year....balloons and kite. For 29 rollicking years, the Duke City has hosted the Kodak Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the world’s largest, most photographed, most whimsical sporting spectacular. Balloon Fiesta promises and delivers a sky-show of fantasy, meriment, beauty and laughter. Nearly three decades of high-rise excitement have catapulted Albuquerque into global popularily, drawing worldwide media coverage and luring huge crowds. The “Big One" keeps growing bigger and more inviting. From the exhilaration of lift-off to the candy-colored sky. Balloon Fi! esta blends reality and imagination into one bright experience.Add the delightful “Special Shapes Rodeos", or the “Balloon Glow" that transforms the night into a dreamy, glowing spectacular along with the Gas Balloon Races—that’s "Balloon Fiesta 2001." During the five Mass Ascensions throughtout the week, more than 850 balloons lift off in unison. Whoever you are, whatever you love, this Fiesta will fill you with awe—a gravity-defying inspiration of a lifetime!

This event is simply a gathering of very enthusiastic fliers and is not sanctioned by or affiliated with any organization.

This event is being held in conjuction with Seal Beach Kite Festival put on by Air Affair Kite Productions. The main festival occurs both Saturday and Sunday. I wish to express my thanks to Air Affair for letting me hold this fighter event along side their festival. But I must emphasize that this fighter event is separate from the main festival. Simply a place to gather and fly fighters. Thanks!
