Our first time at the Albuquerque Balloon Festival is an experience like no other. We get to crew a hot air balloon for the week with our friend Richard and go for a ride with 100s of hot air balloons. See what it takes to make the magic of this event happen, and why the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is an absolutely bucket list travel destination!

I'm from Albuquerque. I usually just watch the coverage of Ballon Fiesta on tv. Looks like you had a great time.
-
That looks like so much fun. It's awesome you got to be on the crew. Good job Richard! ππβοΈ
-
That is awesome. I moved from Mobile to New Mexico right as the monsoon season got going. It was crazy this year. You two had so much fun despite the weather. Great to see such positivity.
-
Omg absolutely a bucketlist experience! It looks so surreal in your video, I can't imagine how breathtaking it was to be amongst so many other balloons. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment!
-
You guys are great!! So fun to watch. These are the kind of things we would do. One doesnβt simply watch the balloon festival! One must be part of the crew! Yes!!!!!! π€©

Like wise I got to crew for Crisp P. Bacon balloon. It was phenomenal experience like you said. I hope others have the same opportunity to do it. A real rush to say the least. The drone show was something else also. I understand the joy and excitement you shared in video. You OBVIOUSLY had a great time!!! Safe travels. π
-
Lorraine and I had a fantastic time at Albuquerque and we're glad you two made it there to make it even more special! A toast to you and everyone that crewed and made it happen! Safe travels on your journey and we are looking forward to your next adventure!! ESRV ROCKS!

What a BLAST!! That is truly an experience you just can't describe. π₯ππ

I was there. I went to the fiesta in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2022.i took my sister and brother in law in 2022. It is amazing. Plan for hotel room at least 6 months before event.
-
Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always, this video was super super awesome, I will include it in my bucket list for next year, keep up with the awesome content πππ―π€
-
We were there too! And we were in the south lot -- would have been fun to get to see you there, but it was fun to relive our experience in your video.
-
thatβs amazing we were there this year and volunteered to crew and my wife got to go up as well!! what crazy weather π±
-
Itβs an amazing event that everyone should attend at some point. There is nothing like it! I also suggest watching it from the field AND off the field in the distance on another day! The balloon glows are incredible too
-
Very cool! Awesome to be crew. We crewed for a friend once, but just for a glow.
-
How wonderful to relive the Balloon Fiesta! In spite of the crazy weather, it was worth attending. I didn't crew or ride, so those parts of the video are a nice bonus. I definitely came away from the Fiesta with a deep appreciation of the crews and organizers, and the art and science of ballooning. The things the video didn't capture is the controlled chaos of being on the field, the smell of the propane and sound of the balloons, and the excitement and cheering of the crowd. But Liz's excitement shone through! Thanks for a great video.

I was there as well and had an opportunity to Crew and chase down a balloon with the Griggs family, and a balloon named Windrose. They were such kind people to let a complete stranger enjoy this with them. What an amazing experience, and this video captures the essence of it so well. I love the tradition of telling the history of ballooning and the balloonists prayer. Thank you so much for the great content you produce week after week.
