Albuquerque residents had plenty of reasons to celebrate this week, with a trio of community events and a handy city giveaway making the most of the summer season.
North Domingo Baca Park played host to the first ABQ Summer Fest event, giving families a fresh reason to get outside and enjoy one of the city’s beloved green spaces. The inaugural gathering signals what promises to be a fun-filled summer series for Albuquerque neighborhoods.
Meanwhile, the Albuquerque Foxy Festival drew hundreds of attendees to the Rail Yards Market, adding to the festive atmosphere around the city this past weekend. The Rail Yards Market continues to be a popular gathering spot for locals looking to connect with their community.
And for homeowners battling backyard mosquitoes this season, the City of Albuquerque has a surprisingly delightful solution: free fish. The city is offering residents complimentary fish to place in standing water on their properties — a natural, eco-friendly way to keep mosquito populations in check without chemicals. It’s a small but neighborly gesture that reflects the city’s commitment to resident well-being heading into the warmer months.
Whether you’re heading to a park festival, browsing the Rail Yards Market, or picking up a few free fish from the city, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy Albuquerque this June.
