Balloon Fiesta National Airstream Rally 2025
We are pleased to announce our 19th Rally to the 53nd Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta®. This year the Balloon Fiesta National Airstream Rally is being held on October 3 - October 7, 2025.
Only current members of Airstream Club International (ACI) may attend this rally and must do so in their Airstream.
The 19th Balloon Fiesta National Airstream Rally will be held on October 3rd - October 7th, 2025. Our site, just steps from the field, is a dry camping experience. Water and honey trucks are available. Bring your (quiet) generator. Join Airstreamers from across North America at this colorful event as hundreds of balloons take to the sky! At this rally you are not sitting on the sidelines but rather you are part of the festivities beginning with the early morning Dawn Patrol through the evening Glow and fireworks!
The cost for the 2025 Rally is $TBD - The rally fee covers your parking site, 2 passes for all field events, welcoming dinner, ice cream social and rally souvenir. Successful applicants from the 2024 Waitlist and the 2025 Lottery will confirm their Attendance by submission of the Registration and Payment Form. The process is online and payment is via credit card.
Application for the Lottery will open in January. (Dates to be determined)
We will first fill sites from the 2024 applicants who did not get selected in the 2024 Lottery and were placed on the Waitlist for 2025. (for more information see Overview of the Process)
After the 2024 Applicant Waitlist has been processed we will then randomly pick Applicants (by lottery) from those who submit the Lottery Application Form in January 2025. If you are selected, you will be notified by email. Anyone who is not selected in our initial lottery will be put on a waitlist in the order picked by the lottery. When we get cancellations from the 2025 final Attendance Registration and Payment list, we will notify those on the waiting list and you will have limited time to confirm your attendance. Please note that if you are notified and do not respond, you are dropped from the waitlist.
This is important – there is no need to be the first to submit an application – those who apply on the first day will be in the same lottery as those who apply on the last day. No need to rush to your computer to apply, you will have seven days to do so. We will close Applications on January (date to be determined).
Our refund policy is strict – with no exceptions:
- $TBD charge through July 14.
- $TBD charge for cancellations between July 15 – August 31.
- No refunds after August 31st for any reason.
