2011 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Rally is on! We will be camping beach front right on the grounds of the Balloon Fiesta. If you have never been before, this is a great opportunity to see this event close up - the balloons will be taking off yards from your front door. For more information log on to https://www.balloonfiesta.com/

This year will be particularly special as it’s the 40th Anniversary of Balloon Fiesta.

The dates are to arrive September 30 and leave the morning of Oct 4th. The cost is $341 which INCLUDES
FREE (that alone would cost almost $200 if you were not camping with us) entry to all events for 2 people. The only thing we charge is $1 to cover some bank charges for handling the rally funds.

Don’t miss the early morning Dawn Patrol where a dozen balloons light up the pre-dawn sky. Next up is Mass Ascension where you will see hundreds of balloons take to the sky. The best part is that you are not sitting in grandstands taking in the action from a distance but you are right on the field watching as balloon crews set up their balloons and take off. The evening brings more balloons and fireworks!

We have 90 spots reserved at this point - This event fills up fast and I need to know who is attending by mid March, and ½ of the fee ($170.50) is due at that time. After that point I can’t promise a spot although the past we have been able to accept later reservations – it just depends on how they fill up.

A fresh water truck and pump out service is available, however there are no elec hookups. Generators are ok and solar works great.

This is the perfect family rally so bring the parents, grandparents, kids, pets and lets have a great time at this VERY popular and NOT TO MISS event! Don’t forget your camera!


Refund policy - the balloon fiesta folks have a strict policy of no refunds after September 1st. I also can’t promise full refunds up to that point – their policy is a $10 charge until July 15th and from July 15 – Aug 31st there is a 50% charge. We work well with the balloon fiesta folks and they have never charged us for refunds up to Sept 1st – after Sept 1st we know we can’t refund any money.

Attached is the sign up sheet – and please please write your e-mail clearly so I can read it because that’s how we will communicate with you and let you know whats going on prior to the fiesta – you will receive several updates as we get closer to Balloon Fiesta!

Ask anyone who has attended this great event before and they will tell you that you just cannot describe it – you just have to be there.


See you at Balloon Fiesta!

    We are looking forward being with your group and the location. We were there several years back, our first A/S caravan but we stayed at the fairgrounds. This location should be superb and a lot less hazzle! Rich & Sheila Gallagher
