Break from Balloons for Some Arts & Crafts


As this year’s Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta floats on, there are lots of great events surrounding the festival. Among them is the touring Rio Grande Arts & Crafts Festival, which stops in Albuquerque at the balloon fiesta from October 4-6, and October 11-13.

Recently named the 6th best arts festival in the nation, the Rio Grand Arts & Crafts Festival stops in Balloon Fiesta park for the next 2 weeks, with an admission price of $7 for adults and free admission for children 12 and under. Among this year’s attractions are collectors’ markets, artists, and hands-on art projects for the whole family.

Some background on the Rio Grande Arts Festival, from their website:
For 25 years, the Rio Grande Arts and Crafts Festival has been rounding up world-class artists and craftsmen and bringing them together under a legendary white tent in the Land of Enchantment. Taking place the first and second weekends of October, this annual Albuquerque favorite offers a taste of New Mexico and has earned its place as a cornerstone of attractions during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
