Up, Up, and Away! Balloon Fiesta Visitors Lifted Our Spirits

This year’s Balloon Fiesta was sensational, and we are so thankful to everyone who made the trip to Box Studio Sculpture Garden in Cerrillos! Throughout the event, we welcomed over 100 visitors a day, and on some days more than 200, many of whom ventured up the Turquoise Trail from the Fiesta grounds in Albuquerque. We chatted with so many folks who told us that spending the afternoon with our monumental metal sculptures was the perfect way to keep the excitement and beauty of the day going.

In addition to our regular weekday hours, the sculpture garden was open on Saturday, October 3 and Saturday, October 10 especially for Balloon Fiesta visitors. We are truly grateful to the intrepid travelers who added us to their list of things to do in New Mexico. Whether you came for the origami-inspired sculptures, the Turquoise Trail scenery, or a little of both, it was a joy to share our garden art with you.

We look forward to the Balloon Glow, Mass Ascension, Balloon Races, and all of the other festivities next year. Until then, we hope to see you back in Santa Fe County for another visit. Our sculpture garden, gallery, and gift shop welcome visitors May through October, so be sure to add us to your itinerary when you come back for next year’s Balloon Fiesta!
