What better way to work off all of that turkey and pumpkin pie than to get all of your holiday shopping done at the Rio Grande Arts & Crafts Festival? This renowned Thanksgiving Weekend tradition is back Nov. 25-27, 2016, at the Expo New Mexico, so be sure to mark your calendars now!
This year marks the 17th year for this popular Albuquerque festival, which attracts shoppers from around the state. With over 185 artists and craft vendors on site, there’s something for everyone on your gift list. Looking for unique holiday home décor or new recipes to impress your guests with? You’re sure to find both here.
The holly, jolly spirit is alive and well at this craft festival, with a plethora of holiday entertainment to watch in between shopping. Carolers, mariachis and other musicians literally deck the halls, and even Santa and his elves take a quick detour to ABQ to attend.
Admission at this event starts at $7 (plus $5 for parking), or $9 (includes free parking) for the whole weekend. Children 12 and under are completely free, so bring them along for the fun! There are several kid-friendly activities throughout, including photos with Santa.
