Albuquerque Events: April 17th - April 19th

If you’re looking for things to do in Albuquerque the weekend of April 17th - April 19th… I got you!

I’ve been Albuquerque’s go-to guide for weekend events since July 2022! It’s my mission to help change the stigma that Albuquerque is boring. There’s always something to do, I promise.
