Things to do in New Mexico, United States: The Best Events

December 26, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

With its rich cultural heritage from Native American and Spanish settlers, New Mexico has been both a Spanish colony and a Mexican colony, and still retains a strong individual identity within the United States. The landscape is breathtaking, the food incredible, and there is a thriving cultural scene, all of which makes New Mexico, and Santa Fe in particular, a great place all year long.

Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta Presented by Canon

Imagine over 500 colorful hot air balloons rising up at dawn over the New Mexico landscape… there's truly nothing like it, and the place to experience it is each October at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. Spectators and balloon pilots from all over the world gather (some even camping in their RVs) to watch mass ascensions held in the mornings and night events like a 'glowdeo' held in the evening. Music stages are set up during the day and performers stroll through the festival crowds. Every year the Balloon Fiesta kicks off on the first Saturday of October and continues for nine days.

This is THE Albuquerque event. Young or old this event has something for everyone. Take advantage of “Park and Ride” or be prepared to wait for traffic. Amazing arts, carnival foods and balloons, balloons of all sizes and multiple special shapes, dawn mass ascension and nighttime burner glows. Stunning nightly fireworks finish off the day. Arrive early, stay late.
