Albuquerque things to do

Summer is a great time to get the most out of life in Albuquerque, with beautiful weather and a wide range of festivals, markets, concerts, and other events all over town. There are still plenty of summer days left as we finish the month of August and head into September, and our brokers hope to see you at some of these upcoming events before the season is over!

  • Music Under the Stars at the Albuquerque Museum - 2000 Mountain Rd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87104
    Held on Friday and Saturday evenings throughout the summer, Music Under the Stars is a fun, family-friendly concert series at the Albuquerque Museum. Just minutes from these Albuquerque homes for sale, the concerts take place from 7 pm to 10 pm at the museum's beautiful outdoor amphitheater and include food and drink courtesy of Slate at the Museum. There are still plenty of events in this series to look forward to in September.

  • Flea Market at Expo New Mexico - 6699 Domingo Rd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87108
    New Mexico's largest open-air flea market, the Flea Market at Expo New Mexico takes place every Saturday and Sunday from 7 am to 3 pm, as long as the weather cooperates (which it usually does). You never know what you'll find at this vast and ever-changing collection of vendors offering antiques, art, trinkets, books, clothing, collectibles, and just about anything else you can imagine. Summer is a great time to experience the best flea market in the state!
