hot air flight Balloons Over Angel Fire

Balloons Over Angel Fire is a literally elevating community event.

Every year on Father’s Day weekend in June, just as the high country trees burst into spring greens and golds, even more color is added to the vista as more than two dozen brightly colored hot air balloons lift off from Angel Fire Airpost into clear, cold Moreno Valley skies.

Smaller than many such events, Balloons Over Angel Fire typically hosts 30, and up to 50 balloons and crews each year. Primarily because it is smaller and more intimate than big rallies in Albuquerque and Santa Fe – Angel Fire has become a popular stop for balloon pilots, families and crews, locals and visitors alike.

Parents and kids get “up-close and personal”
