*Free local event, they will be adding Balloon rides this year $150/person and $250/couple donations going to local charities. The balloons launch around 7:30 am, weather permitting. After the balloons launch, there will be smaller RC balloons inflating and staying on the field.

This is a great free event much smaller than Albuquerque’s Balloon Fiesta. This has been the second largest rallye in New Mexico in the past with up to 40 balloons. They are are limiting the number of balloons this year due to a smaller field. I believe in will be on the football field located directly behind Calvary Chapel in Belen. Calvary Chapel has a very large parking lot as it was the “old walmart” in Belen.
