Yep, Always the first week of October. Mass ascensions on the two weekends but everyday they have something including the special shapes only ascension, balloon "glowdeo". Gas balloon race (helium), Key grab (pilots maneuver their balloons and attempt to line up and make a run across the field at the right height to grab a set of keys to a brand new car attached to a long pole).

There is also the Taos Balloon Rally (late October) which is much smaller and more intimate (50-100 balloons). Very different feel from the ABQ Balloon Fiesta which attracts 100,000 people or more each day.

I would definitely like to this festival in NM at some point in life, is it always in October?
Maybe next year....

Yep, I seriously would call it a bucket list thing to see. Pretty impressive, and just the logistics of it all are something, using volunteers. Billed as the world's largest!

Would be a nice LONG road trip if I happen to think about driving, but def sounds very interesting for sure.
