Rio Grande Arts and Crafts Festival

The Balloon Fiesta is one of the biggest events in Albuquerque throughout the year.  Add the excitement of Balloon Fiesta plus the Rio Grande Arts and Crafts Festival and you have a great day of events to attend.   The show runs Oct 5th, 6th, 7th, 12th, 13th, and 14th of this year.


For 24 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. Crowds of shoppers return year after year to take part in the unsurpassed setting of a huge peaked tent under a hot air balloon dotted sky, bustling with 280 of the most talented artisans from all over the map. In addition to a fantastic juried artist lineup and lively crowds, the festival features entertainment and music in the outdoor pavilion, good eats, artist demonstrations, complimentary activities for kids, and samples of food and wine! Invite your friends and save the dates! We’ll see you in October at this extraordinary fall festival.
