Albuquerque Balloon Festival






Location: New Mexico, USA

You've never seen hot air balloons like this before. A couple weeks ago, Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's a 9-day event.during early October, where over 700 balloons see liftoff. It's the largest hot air balloon festival in the entire world and we were on hand to capture the action.



History:
The Balloon Fiesta began in 1972 as the highlight of a 50th birthday celebration for 770 KOB Radio. Radio station manager Dick McKee asked Sid Cutter, owner of  Cutter Flying Service and the first person to own a hot air balloon in New Mexico
