The 53rd Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta painted the New Mexico sky with over 500 vibrant hot air balloons and whimsical special shapes. This nine-day spectacle featured breathtaking Mass Ascensions at sunrise and glowing evening displays, drawing global crowds to the world’s most photographed event. As a premier celebration of international aviation and culture, the 2025 fiesta offered spectators the unique thrill of walking the launch field amidst roaring burners and a kaleidoscope of colors.
