We spent a week at the Fiesta in 2013 and had a great time. A great way to enjoy it up close and personal is to volunteer as a crew member. I did that and really enjoyed learning more about balloons. The pilot I crewed for rewarded me with a ride my last day there.
You can sign up in advance of the Fiesta, which is what I did, or you can just show up early each morning and volunteer for any pilot who is short-handed that morning.
Here is an article I wrote about our fun-filled week, along with pictures.
Have a great time!
