Weekend Events
Written By Alexandria Gonzalez

If you’re looking for things to do in Albuquerque the weekend of May 8th - May 10th… 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.

I am not affiliated with any of the organizations hosting these events. The information below is subject to change at any time by the organizer. Please reach out to them directly for more information and to verify event details. I’m human and can make mistakes with event information.

If you have an upcoming weekend event that you’d like to share with me, please send me the details (alex@abqlifestyle.com).

*Free to attend — food, drinks, vendors, and other offerings may have additional costs.
