ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- The City of Albuquerque created a Balloon Landing Task Force to help find space for balloonist as the city grows. If we want to make sure to keep seeing our culture thrive, especially coming off the heels of 2020, we want to make sure to do everything we can to leverage and grow and increase the participation and support we offer the ballooning community, said Albuquerque City Councilor Brook Bassan.
The Balloon Fiesta grounds are in Bassan s district. She wants the council to start a serious conversation that could become expensive. We definitely have to spend money to make sure to return and get a return on the money, she said.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- Plans for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta are moving forward.
Approximately 600 balloons are expected to participate in the fiesta, which was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic. When we had to postpone last year s event, almost every pilot said but I want to be back next year. Can I be on the list for next year. We re seeing a lot of those same pilots come back, said Amanda Molina who works in media relations for the Balloon Fiesta.
Molina said workers are trying to figure out how a Balloon Fiesta will look in a world with COVID-19.
