Today, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is known worldwide as an event that emphasizes fun flying and camaraderie over serious competition. It’s ironic that the Fiesta got its start, in large measure, as an arena for that most serious of competitions, the World Championships. With the success of the 1973 Worlds, Albuquerque was well on its way to carving a permanent niche in the ballooning world. The next year, a group of citizens backed by Albuquerque Mayor Harry Kinney began the organization that would become today’s Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, Inc. The 1974 Fiesta, featuring mostly local and domestic pilots, and run on a relative shoestring, kept the tradition alive. The Fiesta had become an institution, and Albuquerque had become the “Hot Air Balloon Capital of the World.” Day 1: Thursday, October 2, 2008 Registration & Orientation Welcome Dinner – Catered if possible Day 2: Friday, October 3, 2008 Bus tour - Albuquerque Day 3: Saturday, October 4, 2008 Morning - Opening Ceremonies Balloon Fiesta Mass Ascension Includes Shuttle Day 4: Sunday, October 5, 2008 Evening - Balloon Glow After Glow Fireworks Includes shuttle Day 5: Monday, October 6, 2008 Bus Tour - Acoma Pueblo Tour Day 6: Tuesday, October 7, 2008 Morning – Flying Competition - Balloon Fiesta Hold ‘em Includes Shuttle Day 7: Wednesday, October 8, 2008 Morning – Flight of the Nations Mass Ascension & Flying Competition Farewell Dinner Day 8: Thursday: October 9, 2008 Morning – Rodeo Shaped Ascension Continental Farewell This agenda is subject to change without prior notification.
