Albuquerque PrideFest

Albuquerque PrideFest is New Mexico's largest LGBTQ+ celebration, organised by Albuquerque Pride, a 501(c)(3) that traces the city's Pride tradition back to its first march in 1976. Held every June, the weekend centres on a festival at Civic Plaza downtown with multiple stages, vendor booths, food and entertainment, plus a parade that rolls along Central Avenue (historic Route 66) through the Nob Hill gayborhood. The event draws thousands and doubles as a platform for local nonprofits sharing health, legal and social-service resources.
