Headed home from Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. We spent 9 days with balloon friends having the best time.

Having checked nearly every box during registration, we participated in Mass Ascensions, Night Glows, Competition, and the Special Shape Rodeo/Glowdeo! It was a very busy week with lots of naps.

We welcomed the newest member of Zulu Balloon Team - Como Se Llama! She is our brand new hot pink llama balloon which proved to be a crowd favorite. We are so thankful to Billy Billy and the entire team at Uplifting Adventures.

We started off the week with Kevin and Emily of Steampunk Sea helping crew and as an alternate pilot. Special thanks to Kevin, Emily, Bill, TK and the Anton Family for all the help and support. Each of you helped make this week possible. And we definitely can’t forget Michael (our technical systems engineer) who is so supportive, loving and keeps everything running in tip top shape for me.

We can’t forget to thank Deyvy, who joined the Zulu Balloon Team on Monday! Local to Albuquerque, she was essential in navigating! We had so much fun having her join the team!

Thank you to everyone who took photos and videos for me! Most of these photos are not my own and I appreciate all of you. Photo credit to those who took the photos.

Thank you to the organizer’s, weather team, safety team, zebra’s and everyone that had a hand in making this event a success.

We cannot wait for next year’s Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, celebrating 100 years of Route 66!

Though it's mid-Fiesta, we have time for another Cameron Balloon of the Week! This week's balloon is s/n 6548, a bold 2008-built Z-90!

Have you owned, flown, crewed for, or taken photos of this balloon? Let us know!

I am one of the oldest and largest free hot air balloon races in the United States.

I am where over 100,000 people looking to slow down and create lasting memories come annually for the weekend to celebrate.

I am hot air balloons glowing against the night sky on Friday, and soaring along the horizon on Saturday.

I am here for those seeking joy, connection, and an unforgettable experience — together.

I am the St. Louis family tradition since 1973.

I am the Great Forest Park Balloon Race.

I am St. Louis.
