Albuquerque
Daily Flights Year Round
The 2022 White Sand Balloon & Music Festival combines the beauty of the Tularosa Basin Landscape, Red Dirt Country Music, Hot Air Balloons, and Family-Friendly Activities.
Book a Saturday morning ascension launch from Ed Brabson Balloon Park with 30 other balloons. The roughly one hour flight will take you over the beautiful Land of Enchantment, with views of the Lady of the Mountain to the East and the stunning Organ Mountains to the West.
If you’d rather beat the crowds and not have to worry about admission fees, book your Sunday morning adventure launching from Ed Brabson Balloon Park. You will enjoy the panoramic views of balloons launching in the distance for your sunrise balloon ride.
Both flights include a celebratory toast to commemorate your aeronautical adventure. If you still want more balloon action, check out the Saturday night balloon glow at the park (bands begin at 2pm with the glow starting at 7:30pm).*
*all ballooning activities are weather permitting
Looking for a taste of the ballooning adventure, without the full flight? Check out our tethered balloon rides! Available Friday, September 16th and Saturday, September 17th beginning at 6pm and ending around 10pm at Ed Brabson Park.
Enjoy live music and local vendors at the park each night. Saturday night will also feature a balloon glow with 30 other balloons. View the full schedule of events here.
