While there were posters made for the first Balloon Fiestas, the tradition of creating a beautiful official poster began in 1979.

These posters instantly became a collector’s item, with values climbing into the thousands of dollars. Balloon Fiesta does not attempt to track or set the pricing on past posters. However, a simple Internet search should reveal additional information. There are many other posters out there. For instance, Mark Pacan created Special Shape posters for AIBF from 1994-2001. They are featured in this collection.

Posters were available in different configurations. Numbered, signed and numbered, and without any markings. Trivia note: all posters, since 2006, when Balloon Fiesta assumed production of the posters from ProCreations, have included a roadrunner somewhere in the image. While some are obvious, others are cleverly hidden.

Some of the posters shown below have been professionally framed for hanging in the AIBF office.
