Started in 2002, the León Balloon Festival is second only in size to the one in Albuquerque. León, almost in the geographical center of the country, is one of the largest cities in Mexico, famous for its shoe and leather industry, now also is a favorite convention venue and is an automobile manufacturing hub, too. Nearby (and served by the León International Airport) are San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato, capital of the state.
