DW and I traveled to New Mexico to see this balloon fiesta. It's wonderful and I recommend you see it at least once. We were there for the dawn patrol and the ascension on the first day. I've never seen a sport where the fans can walk among the players as they prepare. We even helped some by holding down the gondala as they righted the balloon. I think there were 700+ balloons when we were there.

Great fireworks too.
