Celebrating Independence Day in Albuquerque

by Sandi Pressley

Albuquerque, New Mexico, is known for its vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and a rich tapestry of history and tradition. As the 4th of July approaches, the city prepares to celebrate Independence Day with a variety of events that promise fun, entertainment, and a sense of community. Here's what you can expect from the 4th of July celebrations in Albuquerque for the year 2024.

Freedom 4th at Balloon Fiesta Park

The main attraction of Albuquerque's 4th of July celebration is the Freedom 4th event at Balloon Fiesta Park. This family-friendly event is free to the public and features a concert with local bands and national headliner Michael Ray, known for his Platinum-certified hits and dynamic performances. The gates open at 3 p.m., and attendees can enjoy a variety of food from local vendors, kids' activities including inflatable jumpers and face painting, and of course, the brightest fireworks show in the state to cap off the night.

Old Town Events

The historic heart of Albuquerque, Old Town, offers a more traditional celebration with live music and dance performances. The New Mexico BioPark Society also provides an opportunity for unlimited visits to the ABQ BioPark Zoo, Aquarium, and Botanic Garden with a membership, which could be a great way to spend the day before enjoying the evening festivities.

New Mexico United Soccer Match

Kick off your 4th of July weekend with some thrilling soccer action. New Mexico United will be hosting a special match to celebrate Independence Day. Gather your friends and family, don your team colors, and head to Rio Grande Credit Union Field at Isotopes Park for an unforgettable experience.

Zoo Music and Summer Nights Concert Series

Music lovers can rejoice as the ABQ BioPark Zoo, Aquarium, and Botanic Garden will host the Zoo Music and Summer Nights concert series. With a BioPark Society Membership, you can enjoy half-price tickets to these enchanting evenings filled with music under the stars.

Isleta Amphitheater Freedom Celebration 2024

For a more grandiose celebration, the Isleta Amphitheater will host the Freedom Celebration 2024. This event promises to be a spectacular display of patriotism with live performances and a fireworks show that will light up the night sky.

Planning Your Visit

If you're planning to attend any of the 4th of July events in Albuquerque, it's recommended to check the latest information regarding parking, transportation, and event schedules. With the state of New Mexico experiencing extreme fire danger in the summer, it's also crucial to stay updated on any changes to events, especially those involving fireworks.

Fireworks For Everyone in Albuquerque This 4th of July

by Sandi Pressley

The City of Albuquerque canceled its annual Freedom Fourth fireworks show at Balloon Fiesta Park, citing coronavirus restrictions. But that's OK, as there will now be four displays throughout the city of Albuquerque, so we can all watch from home!

Fireworks displays will launch from the Ladera Golf Course, North Domingo Baca Park, Tom Tenorio Park and Expo New Mexico on Saturday. It will certainly be a unique combination of displays.

Weather permitting, the show will begin at 9:20 p.m.

The city is discouraging you from gathering near the four sites, and instead urging you to watch from home. Local law enforcement will monitor each site to restrict street parking in the area.

If you don't live in the Albuquerque city limits, you may be able to enjoy these following shows.
