The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta features many wonderful experiences!

In addition to the magical spectacle of balloons, we showcase some of the most talented performers of our day – most of them local New Mexicans – representing a myriad of styles and genres. We hope you’ll plan to attend Balloon Fiesta for each and every session to enjoy this line-up of world-class talent.

Submissions will be considered for Balloon Fiesta’s Main Street and North Main Street Stages, Main Street Strolling Performances, and internal events. Selections for performances will be made between January and May each year for that year’s Balloon Fiesta.

Entertainment is offered in multiple locations, so have your cameras ready!
