3 Night Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Getaway for 2 Guests Includes Gondola Club Tickets & Hotel Chaco Stay

You are invited to experience one of the world's most iconic aerial spectacles, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, over 3 unforgettable days from October 9 through 12, 2026.

Held each autumn against the backdrop of the Sandia Mountains, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is the largest hot air balloon festival on the planet, drawing hundreds of brilliantly colored balloons and tens of thousands of spectators to the skies and fields of New Mexico. The event is renowned for its mass ascensions at dawn, special shape rodeos, and the otherworldly glow of balloon illuminations after dark, a visual experience unlike anything else on the calendar.
