    36 years in Albuquerque during the fall. ♥️ For 3 36 years in Albuquerque during the fall. ♥️

For 36 years, we’ve been bringing great art, artists, and a whole lot of fun to Albuquerque during Balloon Fiesta season.

We’re a small, family-owned business run by a team of family and friends who have become family, all of us art lovers and genuinely passionate about what we do. 

We’ve been part of the New Mexico art scene for a long time, and supporting and promoting our artists is at the center of everything we do.

Every year, we bring together a juried group of high-caliber fine artists and makers from across the country, including many talented creators from New Mexico. We’re incredibly proud of the work they bring to our festivals, and we love creating opportunities for people to experience this much exceptional art all in one place.

A day at Rio Grande is fun for everyone: beyond the art is live music, food, drinks, and plenty to wander through and discover. It’s an easy addition to a Balloon Fiesta morning and a great way to spend part of your day in Albuquerque.

We can’t wait to see you in October!
