welcome to the international balloon festival
we are super stoked y'all we got here at 6 30 on the night although we wanted to be here early
you can take the Mexican out of the Mexican Americans we got here right at 6 30 in time
for when they said they were going to take off thankfully everything else is running on
Mexican time too and they'll be tight taking off at seven o'clock sharp a few more minutes
can't see my watch really the park opens at five in the morning so you can come get your coffee
some food maybe even some beers if you're in the mood for it and you guys saw some Krispy Kreme
I'm excited to experience this in Mexico we got to do this for the first time in
Cappadocia Turkey and it was amazing it gives me a even warmer fuzzier feelings
to be doing this in Mexico a country that I love so so much today we're
about to witness over 200 balloons take off from all different shades
sizes colors all over the world people here from Turkey from France Brazil Japan okay
beautiful another one so while we have El principito The Little Prince right here in
front of us on stage they brought in the pilot and the owner of the balloon who is from France
that his father was very good friends with the author of The Little Prince book and that The
Little Prince means a lot to them and their family this is the little Prince's very first
flight he brought him all the way to Mexico for his first flight and I think it's so beautiful
I feel so special right now so honored oh I think I know what that one is
wait is that a sloth up there
it was a super special opportunity to be able to fly in these when we were in Turkey but it's a
whole nother level of special to be able to watch them to take off from right in front of them it's
just like I can't even tell you which experience made me feel more emotional more amazed because
watching them take off right from right here is just as amazing as flying in it seriously
bye bye little prince
it's not just you fly up there it's like a huge privilege and a huge honor to be able to represent
your flag your country your balloon your artwork up in the air for the entire city of Leon Mexico
amazing amazing amazing one thing that I did learn from Seattle is that the people when
they fly up there the pilots when they fly up there they don't actually have control
where they're going it's where the wind pushes them so this is really impressive
that all these balloons are around here and they're coordinating perfectly for them not
to bump into each other one just took off right above us up there's a there's a character with a
mustache over there he's got a Brazilian flag anybody know who that is I'm really curious
that one's an interesting that was an interesting shape and color I can't tell what it is
the first one here

Festival here in Lyon you can buy your tickets online in advance we have three different passes
they have a morning pass and evening pass and a full day pass for the half passes which is the
half the morning pass or the evening pass they're about 400 pesos and for the full day pass we paid
630 pesos prices keep changing every year and they keep going up every year so if you're seeing this
and planning for next year we'll be linking the official website down below another important
thing to know is the many entrances that there are in the park they have great maps on the website to
help you plan your day it's a good idea to take a look at that website in advance that you know
which entrance you want to enter through what time you want to be here and which day you want to come
it's almost the same every day the only thing that really changes is the concerts and what
musicians are playing tonight I believe we will get to see Eden Munoz but I honestly don't know
a lot about but I'm ready to jam to whatever his music is no a little hack over here for you guys
is that there's a whole gourd just like here at parque metropolitano I believe it's called
I have to correct myself on the name but cool thing is that you can enter the park separately
from this festival and pay just the 20 pesos that they charge to get into the park that's a
regular normal admission fee totally separate from the festival and there's people enjoying
the hot air balloons from The Kayaks from boats and so once you pay for admission to the park
then you just pay whatever the cost is to rent the kayak or ride the boat but that's a pretty
cool idea I think maybe we can do that tomorrow it's an hour since the balloons took off and I'm
really curious to see where they're gonna land like we said in the beginning the balloons take
off they they don't control their Direction the wind pushes them in the direction that they go
hello I wonder where all these balloons are gonna land I see some over there some over here yeah the
sloth is calling it a day SpongeBob is calling it a day so people are already landing and it
has to do with the wind conditions and when they're probably where they're gonna land so
it's kind of I'm kind of curious imagine it just lands in your house one of the coolest perks of
flying a balloon is that when you land it's a tradition that was established since the very
first balloon that flew and when you land you have to have a bottle of champagne everybody
who rode you have to celebrate the fact that you were like you survived we didn't get the
opportunity to fly one today so we're gonna have to celebrate with what coffee and donuts
finally found a nice spot to stay with our coffee from Oxo we got Oxo and andati stands all over
Gallo cappuccino which is actually pretty good and we got the most expensive Donuts in all of Mexico
crispy a six a half a dozen of Krispy Kreme Donuts will run you 250 pesos or about 12-13 dollars
it's Krispy Kreme they sold her the American dream Krispy Kreme I don't even have to go too far I can
just stay right here cheers the Krispy Kremes in the U.S they don't give you donuts with cajeta in
them do they no but is it worth ten dollars for a guy that thing well I'm not a big donut person so
I don't care about Donuts so it's like espresso has a variety of music on this side you can
but on this side
foreign
it is an International Festival so you have to provide some International Food tonight
I'm gonna try these brats German sausages because I miss them I used to love them
back in Chicago with some sauerkraut maybe some grilled onions mmm and mustard tonight though
Spider-Man almost almost random Spider-Man here cool check out this foil art oh no little baby
lost her sweater should we try to find the owner let's maybe let's see if there's a locked and
found this cool instagramable art sculpture setups are really cool I imagine that in the
evening though they're probably going to be all lit up escape the ordinary it's my kind of quote
yeah
we are now leaving the festival grounds because the morning session is pretty much done we're
gonna go take a break relax and then come back at five o'clock and do whatever again they bet
they pass bracelets one important thing to know is that if you only get the morning pass or only
the evening pass you don't get to re-enter so if you leave that's it for the day pass
you can come in and out as often as you want and we're back to the balloon festival for
the evening session and this place if you can see behind me look pretty lit quite literally
the best biggest nightclub I've ever been to is what it looks like I'll join nightclubs so
we're here for La Noche Monica starting right now at 7 p.m where they light up the balloon
enjoy the magical later and it looks like they go to the music so let's go get down
it's really awesome how close we get to beach in it it's really really cool you
you actually don't even need a jacket tonight especially if you're dancing well I'm out here
so tonight we have a DJ that's putting some house in electro music we're also going to
have a performer that plays uh music I forgot the name of it yeah and one of the other big
Headliners gonna be Farruko on Sunday which you won't get to see but this event has all
kinds of music it has fun for everybody so if you want to bring the whole family out
this is a perfect event to come and hang out it ends early too for us old people excuse
me for yourself so it's a really cool event to enjoy and be home by 11 o'clock foreign
oh I have an idea let's see if we can do this I want to give a shout out to our
patreon members for supporting our Channel thanks to you we can continue making these
videos and sharing these awesome things around Mexico with you do you like some
support and join patreon you can do so at the link below we love you all thank you so much
video's not over don't go anywhere Yes Dance is for you go ahead thank you
and if you want to see the rest of that video you can still catch it on future I'm just kidding
and that's it the balloons went down fast there's just a couple left but it's 7 45 and they went
down as soon as the DJ finishes set one thing I have noticed is that there's there seems to
be less people in the evening session than the morning session at least today right I really
liked it I enjoyed it it was over too soon yeah 45 minutes so if you had to choose between just the
morning or the evening session which one would you choose both you will still do the day pass yeah
I I would still do the day pass but I said both because the evening I love having music ambiente
I'm kind of hungry what are you I could go for some punches let's go check out the food court
I was craving my German sausage so let's check out what Mexico how Mexico does their German sausages
I don't think it's missing a sauerkraut
