Welcome to Balloon Fiesta® Live!
Balloon Fiesta Live! is a live stream of all 14 sessions of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta®. Anchored by Art Lloyd Jr. and Ted Maes, It's the next best thing to being at Balloon Fiesta in person! With multiple and unique camera angles, Art and Ted provide expert commentary based in part on their personal experience in flying hot air balloons and their personal friendship with many of our pilots and crews from our "rooftop studio". Diane Kinderwater brings her broadcast background to the team as the on-field reporter. The on-air roster, backed up by a team of dedicated Balloonists and the top-notch production company, Windfire Production and Engineering, this stream outshines any coverage anywhere of a live balloon event. If you can't be at Balloon Fiesta in person, or just want to relive the experience, check out Balloon Fiesta Live! using the links below or on Facebook or YouTube. While you're there, like, follow, and subscribe to our page and channel.
