For those looking to start the celebrations early, the Downtown Growers' Market on Saturday, May 11, is the perfect destination.

The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center presents a unique celebration with featured dishes and seasonal desserts at the Indian Pueblo Kitchen. Alongside the culinary delights, exhibitions and cultural dances provide entertainment for the whole family. Moms receive half-price admission with in-person ticket purchases, making it an affordable and enriching experience.

For a more relaxed and community-focused event, the Seeds and Starts Day at the Rail Yards Market on Sunday, May 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offers shopping from local vendors, free seeds, gardening demonstrations, and even goat yoga.

Historic Old Town transforms into a hub of celebration with shopping, local music, free kids' activities, and food trucks. This event is free to attend and runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., providing a perfect backdrop for family photos and memories.

Every October, the skies of Albuquerque come alive with a vibrant display of over 500 balloons taking flight from Balloon Fiesta Park. The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is the largest hot-air balloon festival in the world, and it's an event you won't want to miss. As you wander through the festival, you'll be surrounded by the mesmerizing sight of hot air balloons gracefully ascending into the cool autumn air. It's an experience that will transport you to a dreamlike state.

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is a highly regarded event that draws visitors from around the globe. Taking place in the first week of October, it offers a sensory experience with the aroma of roasting chiles and the captivating sight of hot air balloons gracefully floating through the autumn sky. The Balloon Fiesta Park serves as the launch site for hundreds of balloons, creating a city-wide celebration that should not be overlooked.

One of the main attractions of the fiesta is the Dawn Patrol, which was introduced in 1978 by two California balloonists. They developed position lighting systems that allowed them to fly at night. The Dawn Patrol pilots take off before sunrise and continue flying until it is light enough to see landing sites. This is particularly appreciated by fellow balloonists as they can observe the balloons and gather early information about wind speeds and directions at different altitudes. On mass ascension days, around a dozen Dawn Patrol balloons perform the Dawn Patrol Show, a synchronized inflation and launch accompanied by music. This show has been a part of the Balloon Fiesta since 1996. The inflations for the Dawn Patrol begin at approximately 5:45 AM, weather permitting, with the actual launch taking place around 6:00 AM.

The balloon event will not only feature captivating balloons, but also a diverse range of talented performers, many of whom are local New Mexicans. These performers represent various styles and genres, adding to the magical experience.

Here's a fun fact: Albuquerque is one of the oldest cities in America. Even though it was founded in 1706, the Native Americans called this place home for thousands of years. How do we know? Because the Albuquerque area is filled with amazing carvings and relics of the past, such as the ancient rock carvings at Petroglyph National Monument.

Yet it's not only the distant past that makes Albuquerque so interesting. You can see the more recent past as well displayed in the vintage neon signs along Route 66, or the historic Old Town Plaza.

How can explore the rich history of Albuquerque for yourself? There are plenty of ways to discover the distant and recent past of the area through the landmarks and historic sites of the area. Here's a few of the best historic sites in Albuquerque to take you on your own personal journey back in time.

New Mexico Steam Locomotive and Railroad Historical Society

This is a working restoration operation staffed with skilled volunteer welders, pipe-fitters, mechanics and many other trades. Free tours are available to visitors on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Petroglyph National Monument

Petroglyph National Monument stretches 17 miles (27 km) along Albuquerque, New Mexico's West Mesa, a volcanic basalt escarpment that dominates the city's western horizon. Authorized June 27, 1990, the 7,236 acre (29.28 km2) monument is cooperatively managed by the National Park Service and the City of Albuquerque. The western boundary of the monument features a chain of dormant fissure volcanoes. Beginning in the northwest corner, Butte volcano is followed to its south by Bond, Vulcan, Black and JA volcanoes.

Albuquerque Old Town

Old Town is the historic original town site of Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the provincial kingdom of Santa Fe de Nuevo México, established in 1706 by New Mexico governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdés. It is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties as the Old Albuquerque Historic District, and is protected by a special historic zoning designation by the city. The present-day district contains about ten blocks of historic adobe buildings surrounding Old Town Plaza. On the plaza's north side stands San Felipe de Neri Church, a Spanish colonial church constructed in 1793.

Trinity Site

The exact spot where the first atomic bomb was detonated. Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon. It was conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The test was conducted in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what was then the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, now part of White Sands Missile Range.

Gutierrez Hubbell House

The Gutierrez-Hubbell House is a cultural and agricultural learning center developed to document, research and preserve history, maintain open spaces, protect wildlife and teach agricultural heritage.

New Mexico Shakespeare Festival 2022

Aug 5 – Sep 3
New Mexico Veterans Memorial
1100 Louisiana Blvd SE #5009, Albuquerque, NM

We are delighted to announce that our exciting 2022 season will run August 5th - September 3.

King Lear will be directed by Debi Kierst

The play is about families—about fathers and daughters, fathers and sons, sisters and their husbands and lovers, brothers natural and unnatural. Ordinary jealousies, demands for love, sibling rivalries, desire for money and power, and petty cruelties are all taken to the extreme. It has been considered by many to be Shakespeare's crowning artistic achievement.

As You Like It will be directed by Julia Thudium

The play is being set in in its own time, Arden time. In this version, the mythical forest of Arden is where magic reigns and impossible things happen every day. This show will be filled with music and movement, laughter and most especially joy, joy for the audience and joy for the players.

Both shows promise to be terrific nights in the theatre, under the fabulous New Mexico sky.
