このコンテンツについて
As we come together for Independence Day, our city is buzzing with celebration and community spirit. Today, Balloon Fiesta Park is the heart of the action with the annual Freedom 4th event starting at 3 p.m. Local bands fill the afternoon air, and national headliner Hunter Hayes takes the stage before a fireworks finale. Entry is free, and there’s a big spread of food vendors, family activities, and local brews. Remember, with extreme fire danger this summer, Albuquerque Fire Rescue reminds us to follow all fireworks restrictions. You can report illegal fireworks through the ABQ311 app or the city website. Let’s celebrate safely and take care of our pets, who can get spooked by tonight’s festivities.
Old Town is keeping things festive all weekend with Summertime in Old Town—expect live music at the gazebo, along with all the charm of our favorite shops and restaurants. Meanwhile, baseball fans have a packed weekend. The Isotopes host a special Fourth of July game at 7:05 p.m. with a post-game fireworks show and all-you-can-eat buffet. Saturday is Lowrider Night, featuring a paint-your-own bobblehead giveaway and a classic car show. Sunday marks Orbit’s birthday, with a special donation drive for Locker 505, so bring new or gently used toys or clothing if you’re heading to any games.
City services are largely up and running today. Trash and recycling pickup, city pools, golf courses, the BioPark, and museums are all open. Most pools will close early at 5 p.m., and a couple of spray pads—Cesar Chavez and Wells Park—are closed for the day. The Sunport remains open for travelers, and the 311 community contact center has special holiday hours reopening at 3 p.m. for non-emergency calls.
Looking at the forecast, we’re starting the morning clear and warm, with highs headed for the upper 90s by late afternoon. There’s a strong chance of gusty winds by evening, which could affect some outdoor plans and possibly the fireworks displays. Keep water handy and watch for heat advisories if you’re spending extended time outside.
On the job front, Albuquerque continues to see steady growth, particularly in hospitality and tech sectors. Several new restaurants have opened along Central Avenue and near Cottonwood Mall, bringing an estimated 50 to 70 new jobs to the area. In real estate, home listings are holding steady, with the median price just above three hundred and eighty thousand dollars and average time on the market sitting around three weeks.
For our schools, a big shoutout to Sandia High’s robotics team, who took home a second-place trophy at a national competition last week. And congratulations to the Valley All-Stars youth softball team for their big win at the weekend invitational.
Our crime report notes a relatively quiet holiday eve, with the most significant incident being an arrest near Lomas and San Mateo last night. APD responded quickly to a disturbance, and no injuries are reported. Police continue to maintain a higher presence around parks and event venues throughout the weekend.
Before we wrap up, a feel-good moment—a group of neighbors near Tingley Beach came together yesterday to clean up the area ahead of today’s festivities, inspiring others with their pride and teamwork.
This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
