4.For nine days in October,the New Mexico skies are painted as hundreds of balloons lift off from Albuquerque's Balloon Fiesta (or festival) Park.For ballooning fans worldwide,the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is a pilgrimage(朝圣).There's something for everyone to enjoy-special shapes filled with equal parts of hot air and wonder,and Balloon Glows that create a magical night landscape for spectators(or audience)to wander.
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is a world-famous attraction and destination for kids of all ages.For more than 30 years,the first week in October brings the smell of roasting chilies(辣椒) and the beautiful,magical moving picture show of hot air balloons sailing silently through the crisp fall air.
Guests from all over the world come to Albuquerque to celebrate ballooning.Literally hundreds of balloons will be taking flight from the Balloon Fiesta Park this year.
From its beginnings in 1972 with 13 balloons launching from a shopping mall parking lot,the Balloon Fiesta has grown to various events launching year-round at the custom-designed,365-acre Balloon Fiesta Park.Our signature event remains Balloon Fiesta,which,with 700 balloons,is the largest ballooning event on earth,the most photographed event on earth,and the largest yearly international event held in the United States.
Imagine 54 football fields,all put together.That's the size of Balloon Fiesta Park's 78-acre launch field!And at this Park's"playing field",there are no losing teams and no viewing stands.Guests walk the field and are part of the action…
Balloon Fiesta Park is located north of Alameda Boulevard,one mile west of Interstate-25.
