ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta filed a lawsuit against a Tennessee nonprofit regarding their similarly-named ballooning event.

Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta organizers are seeking damages and any profits the nonprofit made from using the Balloon Fiesta name.
