Chiles, Chips, and Hot Air: Celebrate Balloon Fiesta
Chiles, Chips, and Hot Air: Celebrate Balloon Fiesta with Gilly Loco
October is an extraordinary time in New Mexico, a state known for its breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and, of course, its mouthwatering food. Each fall, the skies over Albuquerque transform into a stunning display of color during the
International Balloon Fiesta, one of the largest and most celebrated hot air balloon events in the world. It’s a celebration that reflects everything New Mexico is known for: adventure, art, and community.
The magic behind the Fiesta? New Mexico's unique "box" wind pattern, a natural phenomenon that allows balloonists to navigate and float with precision, creating a stunning spectacle. This special wind pattern draws balloonists from all around the world, showcasing New Mexico as the perfect host for such an iconic event.
And speaking of iconic, there’s no better way to celebrate the Fiesta than with the bold, authentic flavors of Gilly Loco. Just like the balloons soaring through our skies, our salsas and chips bring vibrant, New Mexican flavors to your table, making every bite a celebration.
A Taste of New Mexico: Where Food Meets Culture
New Mexico’s culture is steeped in centuries of tradition, blending Native American, Spanish, and Mexican influences into a unique and flavorful tapestry. One of the things that makes our state stand out is our love for chile—whether it’s red, green, or a mix of both, chile is more than just an ingredient here. It’s a way of life.
At Gilly Loco, we bring these bold New Mexico flavors to life through our handcrafted salsas, inspired by the traditional recipes that have been passed down for generations. Whether you’re indulging in our Green Chile Sauce or embracing the heat of our Ghost Pepper Salsa, each jar embodies the spirit and flavors of New Mexico.
