Every October thousands of shoppers from all over the world attend the Rio Grande Arts and Crafts Festival, which takes place at the same time as Albuquerque's International Balloon Fiesta. This juried show features the work of 280 fine artists and craftspeople from throughout the U.S., offering tourists and residents a unique, world-class art experience. The people of Albuquerque recognize the show by the landmark 'Big White Tent' - and they aren't kidding! These soaring white peaks span one full acre of space. Ranked Number 6 in the Nation! For its 26th year, the Rio Grande Arts and Crafts Festival is picking up its huge tent and moving it to a fabulous new location, the 17 acre Horse Racing Infield at Expo New Mexico! This well-known location offers easy access from I-40, visibility from Louisiana Blvd, increased signage opportunities and an expansion of the festival's parking lot by nearly double. Hundreds of events are held throughout the year at the fairgrounds, including Rio Grande's Fall and Spring events, and this will be the first event ever to be welcomed to the infield! The festival will make a press-worthy entrance, with active horse races surrounding the event and a stunning panoramic view of the Sandia Mountains. |
