(Access the Attendance Application Form 2025 via the link above "Attendance Application Form 2025".
Join us for the 53rd Annual Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta® and the 18th Balloon Fiesta National Airstream Rally. This is the most photographed event on the planet for a reason. It happens every October and you can be part of it!
Our parking location is considered the best parking by many, since we are the closest to the field and the morning pattern of balloons is right over our area! This is a dry camping event with water and pump outs available for an additional fee.
The rally includes a welcome dinner, several social gatherings, an ice cream afternoon and more! The Balloon Fiesta National Airstream Rally volunteer Administration has reserved sites.
Application for the Lottery will open in January. (Dates to be determined)

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.
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 new Waitlist 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 for cancellations is strict – with no exceptions:
- $40.00 charge through July 14.
- 50% charge for cancellations between July 15 – August 31.
- No refunds after August 31st for any reason.
