White Sands Balloon & Music Festival

We hardly believe there is anything more mesmerizing than a collection of colorful hot air balloons flying over the white dunes of White Sands National Monument. Save the date for the White Sands Balloon & Music Festival, scheduled annually for early September.

Friday and Saturday, the festival will happen at Ed Brabson Balloon Park in Alamogordo. On Sunday, Balloons will launch from White Sands National Park.

A more detailed program is usually announced closer to the festival dates on the Alamogordo Chamber of Commerce website. All balloon activities and events are weather permitting.
