New Mexico State Fair

Billed as the greatest show in New Mexico, the State Fair is far more than just an agricultural show. Professional rodeo events and the showing of livestock are big drawcards, or course, but fair-goers also flock onto the 236-acre fairground in the heart of Albuquerque for everything from corn on the cob and cotton candy to carnival rides. The fun of the fair also includes arts and crafts, various animal events, concerts and a variety of free entertainment. For more information contact the New Mexico State Fair Office on (505) 265 1791.

Venue: Expo New Mexico
Date: 5-21 September 2008
Time: 8am to midnight

International Balloon Fiesta

Back in 1972 Albuquerque won a bid to host the 1973 World Hot Air Ballooning Championships, and since then the floating colourful orbs have become a familiar sight in the skies over the city. Albuquerque is now the official balloon capital of the world, and the weeklong International Balloon Fiesta held in the first week of October each year draws thousands of pilots, balloons and avid spectators from the four corners of the world. The city pulls out all the stops to ensure that the Fiesta is a memorable experience in all respects.

Venue: Balloon Fiesta Park
Date: 4-12 October 2008
