Evening Balloon Glow, Special Shapes Rodeo, 52nd Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, Balloon Fiesta Park, Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, New Mexico USA

Two main sessions every day at the BF… the first is of course the early morning Dawn Patrol and the concurrent Mass Ascension! (does that sound a bit religious or is it me).

 

The second is the evening Balloon Glow and Fireworks. Balloons are lined up and at the countdown word of a director on the public address system after the sun sets, balloon pilots light their gas burners at the same time illuminating the balloon envelopes and making some of the best photo opportunities every year in the southwest! It’s magic to see! Of course, once again, tens of thousands of observers and attendees are wandering around the field in the dark!
