To kick off the Balloon Fiesta, balloonists are sent to
elementary schools all over the area to lauch thier balloons.
This is one of the balloons filling up...at 730 in the morning.
The kids can touch the balloons and talk to the pilots. It was
really neat.
Our first major events as New Mexicans was the Balloon Fiesta. There were over 700 balloons launched during the mass assentions. They also have events at night where they light (but not launch) the balloons after the sun sets, followed by an incredible fireworks display. Each of you needs to find a way to come and visit during this time!
