- Balloon Fiesta 2021 - Opening Weekend - FULL COVERAGE - Albuquerque New Mexico
Let me show you everything I experienced in the opening weekend of the 2021 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque New Mexico. You'll see precisely why I recommend leaving super early, ~4am to arrive at the balloon fiesta to beat the traffic. (Maybe I should follow my recommendations).
I attend both Saturday and Sunday mass ascension events at the 2021 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and cover all the details including the morning glow, dawn patrol, mass ascension, food, fun, Albuquerque traditions, the remote control balloons, the chainsaw competitions and shopping at the artisan tent. See everything this balloon fiesta has to offer!
I also cover some pro tips to avoid the crowds (at least upon entry)

I went to Albuquerque, New Mexico this past year, and I got to go on my first hot-air balloon ride with Rainbow Ryders and visit the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta! I loved it!❤❤❤😊😊😊
Nice! That sounds amazing!
It WAS amazing! It was an adventure!
Traffic. Aaaaaaaagh!
Sky. Balloon colors. 😮😀
Green Chile pizza? Ooooooh!!
Nice time lapse of the pre-dawn!!
Wait….remote control balloons? Whoa.
😂😂😂 thanks so much! and the green chili pizza is a must!
We camp out is the best way to do it 🤠
Albuquerque new Mexico USA 🇺🇸
Been going since 1983 what I remember
My mom and dad got me hooked.
Nothing like the Alb.
that's amazing you've been going for so many years! Where do you camp out?
@@SwiftyTravels ya when me and my brother and our whole family camp out family comes from all over the United States. I miss my grandma and grandpa on both sides going the year keep going on and I keep getting Older. But I'm taking my first Grand kind this year 👍🏽😁
You really love the Balloon Fiesta...such a colourful show and you captured it nicely so I can see why you are enjoying the Balloons so much 👍
Thank you! I don’t always go because of the crowds but once I get down there I really enjoy it!!
Woow...Spectacular !! Looks cold in the morning....
Thank you! It was actually much warmer this year than usual, but still chilly in the early morning hours!
Loved the video. 😎👍👍💡🎞️🎥🎶
Thanks so much!!!
New Mexico Chainsaw Massac….oh wait…those look cool!!
😂😂😂 thats so funny! This was the first time I actually went over there to check it out!!
Very nice sharing my Friend 👌
Stay safe and stay connected 😍
Thanks for visiting!!
Hi, thank you so much for this video last year I was the most excited kid in the world for balloon fiesta. I have a Steve Stucker hat and everything and I would always work on the hat with all kinds of pens over 200 and every time I was in the balloon fiesta mood I always watch this video You should totally come back to Albuquerque in 2023. See you there maybe
This looks like an amazing event to see in person. I hope to make it there one year. I had no idea the balloons land all over town. That is fascinating. I also didn't know there was a chainsaw competition. Have you ever gone up in a hot air balloon? Thanks for showing us around this cool event!
many people take balloon rides, I have lived here all my life and hear all the stories on the occasional accidents, so I'm not yet ready to ride, but it looks so beautiful!
@@SwiftyTravels Yeah, I don't love heights so I would pass on the ride too. But it is definitely fun to watch.
We were so sad. We were suppose to be there this year, but Bill's dad passed away right before it, and we had to travel back to New York to be with family. One day, we will finally make it to the big event. Looks like it was spectacular.
I’m so sorry to hear this thats terrible!! My condolences to you and your family. Just know that it happens every year! Next year will be the 50th year so I’m sure there will be even more festivities!!
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh God this is amazing!! I didn't know this existed! Even though there are some restrictions, 600 balloons still look amazing!
This is really an amazing event in my home town. It is so beautiful and quite exciting to be a part of!!😀😀
You make everything look so fun, video credit for those amazing shots , many congrats and thanks for sharing guys 😊😊
Thanks so much!! It is quite an amazing event!
Glad you met the local celebrity! Dawn patrol was gorgeous
Haha! I was such a dork talking to steve stucker!! 😍😂 I think Dawn Patrol is my favorite part!
Excellent loved the balloons it always delights
😍😍
Wow, that really is an extraordinary view!!! Not many places in the world you would see something like that! I love the transitions too my friend 😁🙌🏻
Thank you very much! Such a unique festival here in my hometown!! It is truly unique!
Hurray! I've been waiting for this video. We see balloons each morning around here during this time of the year but nothing like THIS. Holy cow. First off, that's some serious 2nd day dedication getting up that early. Second, THAT ENTRANCE WAS WORSE THAN DISNEYLAND! Goodness! Would have to say my favorite balloon in the jack o'lantern. Simple but I adore Halloween soooo... 😂 Airabelle is pretty awesome too though. You did a GREAT job with this video though. And brave interviewing people. We still can't muster the courage to. Hahah! Looking forward to the next video. 👍
Thanks so much!! I almost talked myself out of it on that second day I was so tired but when I got down there I was so glad I did!! And I guess next time I need to figure out how to focus my camera before I start interviewing somebody lol😍👍
If you do end up coming back to 2023 balloon fiesta I’m looking forward to the video😊
This year was an absolute success! The balloons filled the air all but 2 days which is a beautiful site to see both on the field and off the field. I am glad you adjusted your time to get on the grounds. I didn't make it out this year but will go next year for sure. My youngest boy will be easier to manage since he will be 1y 6m by then.
That is so awesome to meet Steve Stucker! He is an awesome news personality and his hat is awesome!
The weather was so amazing this year! Usually the freezing temperatures keeps me away!! I totally get it with a little ones!😀😀 The crowds are so crazy!
That is absolutely beautiful. Great tips
Thanks so much 😊
lol when you said you left at 445 i was like girl that is waaaaaayy to late lol... i just found your channel andi just want to say thank you for the videos... are you going to record this years (2023) event?
Thank you so much! Yes I’ll be out at the fiesta again this year. I’m hoping to answer more of the questions I often get from viewers
@@SwiftyTravels that's awesome... I work it too with some others lol...
New Mexico chili capital of the world.
Nothing like New Mexico red and green chile.
Yes!! The best!!!
And also if it weren’t for you, I went on the first day of 50th anniversary and I was in an RV and we were planning to leave at seven but then we ended up leaving at five and I found out that people that entered at seven got kicked out because of how many people were there, so thank you so much because I would’ve got kicked out or not be lead in
Oh yes!! Even 5 is kind of late-thank goodness you got in!! So glad to be off help! I will be going again this year!! 😀👍 Thanks so much for your comment!!!
Np what one more thing I gotta ask what’s your favorite balloon?
What about the balloon glows?
The balloon glows are fun. In 2021 I attended the special shape glow. czcams.com/video/Tv0p9ogsWi4/video.html In 2022, the weather was a problem and the one night I tried to attend the balloon glow the event was cancelled due to weather- I cover that event in my video: czcams.com/video/rwy9nl7A22M/video.html . I will try again this year.
Don't forget the original balloon glow on Sunday evening.
If only you could take a hot air balloon to the hot air balloon fiesta you could avoid the traffic!
😂😂😂 Great idea!!!
