The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is the largest hot air balloon festival in the world.  It is held during October, and more than 300 hot air balloons fill the skies each October, where professional hot air balloon pilots drive around the skies.  There are also hot air balloon rides open to the general public, and the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is perhaps the most photographed hot air balloon festival in the world.

The hot air balloon festivals were initially celebrated as a commemoration of the will of men back in the ancient times to defy gravity and soar high up in the skies.  Today, these hot air balloon festivals are celebrated for the festive fun of colorful hot air balloons filling up the skies - some for sport, while others for the sheer experience of coasting around the skies in a serene and exciting fashion.
