Zozobra Balloon at Balloon Fiesta


  • Balloon Fiesta Park 9401 Balloon Museum Drive Northeast Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87113 United States (map)

So many of you have been asking, so here it is!

Old Man Gloom is headed to the 54th Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, and I couldn't be prouder. Zozobra the Balloon will be on the field five times this year:

Monday, Oct. 5 – New Mexico Day morning launch (free for New Mexico residents!)

Thursday, Oct. 8 – Special Shape Rodeo Mass Ascension in the morning, Special Shape Glowdeo at night

Friday, Oct. 9 – Special Shape Rodeo Mass Ascension in the morning, Special Shape Glowdeo at night

If you can only make one trip, come Thursday or Friday and you'll see him rise at dawn and glow after dark.

There's something special about seeing Zozobra float over Albuquerque alongside balloons from around the world. It's Santa Fe's tradition, carried on the wind, and every appearance helps support the kids our Kiwanis Club serves.

A huge thank you to Bryce Risley, our pilot Will Wadsworth, and every volunteer who's up before sunrise to make this happen.

Follow the Zozobra page for updates. See you at Balloon Fiesta Park!
