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.
