Oh, Yea the balloon fiesta is about to start! Its one of the many things that make Albuquerque the most unique city in the state. On Saturday October 1st the fun begins.
The fiesta is so wildly popular that it is nearly impossible to find a decant parking spot close by. I mean you could always park some where far away but one of the most practical solutions to solving this problem is to simply drive a short distance to a local shuttle bus the give rides to the Fiesta grounds. You can park in the parking lot get on the bus and drive right in without all of the head ache, line waiting and endless battle for a parking.
If you do decide to go be prepared to spend some money. Everything there is so expensive you could easily spend 60 dollars in the first 3 hours. Well, combined all of the games, prizes, food, jumpers and toys its kinda hard not to. One of the most amazing thing you can experience is to go around night, watch the Glodeo and the fireworks then wake to the Mass assertion the next morning. The Mass Assertion is when every single balloon goes up at one time so that the sky is completely scattered with with different shapes, sizes, and colors of balloons, seeing all of them at the same is completely mesmerizing. So I highly recommend cutting aside time to visit the Balloon Fiesta this year.
