  • 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!❤❤❤😊😊😊

    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!

    • @SwiftyTravels
      @SwiftyTravels  Před 2 lety +1

      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!

    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.

    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. 👍

    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 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.
