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!
