The Balloon Festival was on the NBC evening news and showed all the balloons being launched. It also showed the aerial view of the campsite and yes, ALL the airstreams !

Thank You to everyone that made this event spectacular for our first of many trips to the festival I hope. My husband and I had a wonderful time. We met some absolutely wonderful people and I mean wonderful, they not only helped us out on our first trip to the festival but they were a real treat to spend time with and we hope to get the pleasure of seeing them all in years o come.

Balloon Fiesta 2013 Thanks
The balloon fiesta has been a bucket list travel destination for us and we finally made it this year. It exceeded our expectations and we hope to be back in the future. Thank you to everyone who planned, organized and executed this superb Airstream special event.

Thanks to all for all the behind the scenes work it takes to make an event like this go so smoothly as it related to the Airstream crowd.

Ken and Crew
Thank you to Ken and his crew for doing such a great job putting this rally together! As first timers everything went really well from the gathering at Camping World to the dinner, happy hours, all events.
The many balloons are all so awesome, mass ascension was incredible every morning. I look forward to going through my umpteen pics. This is the event not to miss!
We met and had great times with so many great folks from all over the country, that is what makes Airstreamers so special.
Safe Travels to all and we will see you down the road.
Kate & Don

We are hearing reports from the balloon pilots - not sure who had the better show - we watching the balloons or the balloon pilots seeing a sea of Airstreams - either way it was a very very very cool show
