October is my favorite time of year in Albuquerque. The mornings are crisp, the smell of roasted chile drifts through the markets, and balloons fill the sky. It’s also the perfect time to slow down, take a walk, and see the city in a new way.
This Balloon Fiesta, I’m bringing back free walking tours of Downtown Albuquerque and the historic Rail Yards for two weekends only. Whether you’re visiting for the Fiesta or hosting family and friends, come join me for a closer look at the stories and architecture that make Albuquerque special.
Downtown Albuquerque Walking Tour - Saturdays
Take a guided stroll through the heart of the city and explore how Albuquerque grew over the last century. From Pueblo Deco treasures like the KiMo Theater to mid-century modern icons on the skyline, you’ll see downtown in a whole new light.
🗓️ October 4 & 11 - 10:00 AM (about 1 hour)
Rail Yards Walking Tour - Sundays
Step inside on of Albuquerque’s most iconic landmarks. The Rail Yards walking tour brings you through massive industrial shops that once kept steam locomotives running and now serve as a hub for art, food, and community.
🗓️ October 5 & 12 - 11:00 AM (about 45 minutes)
Tours are free and open to all. RSVPs are encouraged so I know who to expect. Walk-ups are welcome, but tours may be canceled if no one registers in advance.
Bring your family, bring your visitors, or just bring yourself. I’ll be the one with the blue-and-yellow umbrella and the orange “Free Walking Tours” sign, ready to share why October in Albuquerque is the very best time of year.
Hasta pronto!
Eric
P.S.
Tours are on a limited run this year, but you can always get info on any upcoming events on the Walking Tours page.
