Balloon Fiesta's 'New Mexico Day': Free Admission for Residents
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta celebrated “New Mexico Day” on October 5, offering free admission to state residents with valid ID. According to organizers on October 6, tens of thousands of locals flocked to Balloon Fiesta Park to watch hundreds of colorful balloons ignite and lift off. Founded in 1972, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is the world's largest ballooning event, drawing pilots and visitors from around the globe each year. New Mexico Day is the organizers' tradition of giving back to the local community so more in-state families can share the spectacle. This year's nine-day fiesta also features night glows, special-shape rodeos and other events.
