ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -Organizers rushed to put the Fourth of July’s firework display together at the Balloon Fiesta Park this year.
Last year, the COVID-19 restrictions did not allow people in Balloon Fiesta Park and this year is different.
The City of Albuquerque usually has six months to prepare, but this year they had six weeks.
"We will be selling up to 3,500 tickets, and the tickets are sold per vehicle. You can bring in as many people in that vehicle as you like to come to Balloon Fiesta Park,” said Stephen Madrid, City of Albuquerque Parks Supervisor. “We are estimating maybe four people per vehicle. 3,500 times four is 14,000 people we're expecting to be here.”
