Each year an official balloon ride provider is designated for the annual balloon festival in Albuquerque. The official provider is responsible for coordinating all rides from the balloon field and there are restrictions on ride launches from other locations during the event. Rainbow Ryders is serving as Official Balloon Ride Provider for the sixth consecutive year. To book a balloon ride to be taken during the annual festival, click here.
