Nothing beats waking up to a sky full of colorful hot air balloons floating over Las Cruces! The Mesilla Valley Balloon Rally is back this weekend, and this year’s lineup is packed with firsts: the debut of Visit Las Cruces’ own balloon, the return of the NMSU balloon, and the Zozobra balloon making its first trip south of Albuquerque. Whether you’re into the sunrise ascensions or the glowing evening displays, it’s a chance for the whole community to come together, get inspired, and maybe even spark a new passion for ballooning. Who’s heading out to catch the view? #News #LasCruces #BalloonRally
