Albuquerque’s Big Week of Culture & Events

Albuquerque is buzzing this week with nonstop events—from Juneteenth festivities at Civic Plaza and a special Isotopes baseball game to the ABQ Indie Film Festival and New Mexico Shakespeare Festival. Flamenco fans gear up for nine days of culture at the Festival Flamenco, while car enthusiasts hit the streets for Route 66’s centennial show and the Great Race vintage rally. Across New Mexico, Juneteenth celebrations, hot air balloon fiestas, and Father’s Day markets add to the statewide vibe. On the news front, the city’s air traffic control gets a $26 million upgrade, new road safety efforts follow a cyclist tragedy, and the first 100-degree day of the year hits. Meanwhile, the city council delays a hotel decision in the Sawmill District, a U-turn naming contest heats up I-25, and Albuquerque welcomes its first female police chief.
