Here's what you can expect from the 4th of July celebrations in Albuquerque for the year 2024.

Freedom 4th at Balloon Fiesta Park

The main attraction of Albuquerque's 4th of July celebration is the Freedom 4th event at Balloon Fiesta Park. This family-friendly event is free to the public and features a concert with local bands and national headliner Michael Ray, known for his Platinum-certified hits and dynamic performances. The gates open at 3 p.m., and attendees can enjoy a variety of food from local vendors, kids' activities including inflatable jumpers and face painting, and of course, the brightest fireworks show in the state to cap off the night.

The historic heart of Albuquerque, Old Town, offers a more traditional celebration with live music and dance performances. The New Mexico BioPark Society also provides an opportunity for unlimited visits to the ABQ BioPark Zoo, Aquarium, and Botanic Garden with a membership, which could be a great way to spend the day before enjoying the evening festivities.
