Upcoming Field Trip
White Sands, NM - Balloon Festival
September 18th & 19th
The annual White Sands Hot Air Balloon Invitational always takes place on a Saturday and Sunday in September.
Last years' admission fee for the general public per head was $3.00 over the age of 17. Under 17 was free.
The event begins right at sunrise and lasts until the balloons come down, usually 3 hours. There is a Balloon Glow at our local High School, Alamogordo High School, that takes place 30 minutes after sundown, usually 7:30 pm. Admission for the Balloon Glow was FREE.
The morning lift-offs you can reach best by going to White Sands National Monument. You have to take your own vehicle. White Sands Blvd., in Alamogordo, head South and follow the road when it turns to Hwy 70. This will lead you to White Sands National Monument.
The Hot Air Balloon Invitational grows more and more popular each year. Approx. 200 to 400 spectators are enjoying it each day. This is a rough guess, however.
