Journey to the Spectacular in Your Casa Ford Vehicle

This year, the awe-inspiring White Sands Balloon and Music Festival is taking place from September 15th to 17th in Las Cruces, just a short drive from El Paso. For this annual extravaganza, load up your reliable used car, SUV, or truck from Casa Ford and hit the road for an unforgettable adventure.

Discovering the Festival’s Rich History

The White Sands Balloon and Music Festival has been enchanting visitors since 1992, growing from just 18 balloons to as many as 60 in recent years. Hailing from across the southwest, balloonists paint the skies with vibrant colors, transforming White Sands National Park into a breathtaking spectacle. Casa Ford encourages you to experience this visual feast in style and comfort, and there’s no better way to do so than in a trusty used vehicle from our extensive inventory.

A Weekend of Unforgettable Events

The festival promises a jam-packed itinerary. On Friday evening, the fun begins with live music at Ed Brabson Balloon Park in Alamogordo. By Saturday morning, you’ll witness the first mass balloon ascension. The festival then shifts gears to the Red Dirt Music Festival, serving up eclectic sounds from Texas Country to classic Rock n Roll.

Come Sunday, the festival relocates to White Sands National Park for the second mass ascension. Watching this with a thermos of coffee and the sunrise over the dunes will surely be a memory to cherish.

Adding to the excitement is the 5k Fun Run/Walk, a heart-pumping race that both adults and children can partake in. Regardless of whether you’re a serious racer or just looking for a leisurely jog, the 5k is a delightful addition to the festivities.
