Outstanding photos. I have a friend that has one and they are in north Maryland and have a similar event each year but much fewer entries.

Love these. We were able to attend the Kansas City event a few years ago. Great time!

It’s because of this festival that my husband made me go digital! 42 rolls of film tipped him over the edge.

Creativity of the human mind knows no bounds - I love Yoda - "Balloons many you have, hmmm??"

Love the unique designs and colors. Several years ago we were in Taos for their balloon festival. Not near as big as Albuquerque, but still fun.

Colorado Springs has a good balloon festival too(used to live there) its not as big as Albuquerque, but sizeable.
It is over Labor Day weekend, that's probably canceled too. The Rockies as a backdrop make it pretty cool.

This year's Balloon Fiesta has been postponed until 2021, as has many events that attract large crowds. If you ever get a chance to attend this event, take it. It's exciting, fun and a remarkable opportunity to photograph. Access to the balloons allows you to stand right beside them as they prepare for liftoff and the take off as well. In many cases attendees actually help the pilots launch their balloons. Upwards of 500 balloons took off on the morning I was there. The last time I was there was unique in that the balloons took off, were blown east by the wind and as soon as they got to a 1000 feet the wind up there blew them west back over the field and as they descended many were able to land right from where they took off saving their chase drivers gas. Hope you enjoy the images.
