Memorial Day is almost here! Serving as the unofficial start to the summer season, Memorial Day in Albuquerque means fun in the sun! Here's how you can make the most of the holiday!
Be sure to spend some time outdoors this Memorial Day weekend! Head west of Albuquerque to Petroglyph National Monument, where you can walk among ancient lava flows and see ancient drawings carved into the rocks. Don't skip the hiking trails- there are lots of awesome hikes of diverse terrains and skill levels that you can tackle! To beat the heat, go early in the morning. Alternatively, cool down by trying rafting or water sports!
Two fantastic festivals take place Memorial Day weekend- and they both celebrate local drinks! The 10th Annual ABQ Beer Week will officially kick off with the popular Blues & Brews event on May 29, 2022. Come enjoy great beer and music! May 28-30, check out the 2022 New Mexico Wine Festival. "Sip" into summer at the biggest wine event in the state!
Memorial Day and burgers go hand-in-hand. Luckily, there's no shortage of tasty burgers in Albuquerque! Some locals swear by Laguna Burger, which serves their burgers with a New Mexican twist- green chiles! Blake's Lotaburger is another New Mexican institution. This small local chain both fast and high-quality. For creative burgers, check out Fork and Fig!
