Route 66 Summerfest is the premier centennial festivity for Albuquerque! This year’s event will celebrate all the eras of Route 66 along the one-mile stretch in Nob Hill. This party will feature all of your favorites with four stages of live music featuring music through the decades, local food vendors offering themed menus, artisans creating custom Mother Road gifts, free activities for the kids, 100 show cars for 100 years, and all the flare Nob Hill has to offer. After an evening of fun, head to the Main Stage to dance the night away on Central Ave. to The Docksiders – Yacht Rock Experience, presented by Legends Theater at Route 66 Casino Hotel. It will be a celebration for the ages you won’t want to miss!

Written by Melanie Marnich, These Shining Lives is a touching historical drama, based on the true story of four women who worked for the Radium Dial Company, a watch company based out of Ottowa, Illinois, in the 1920s. The play follows Catherine Donohue (performed by Kristine Padilla) and her coworkers as they form friendships and find independence, unaware of the deadly radiation poisoning they are suffering from. It showcases the danger they face in this workplace and chronicles their fight for justice against the company, a landmark case that had lasting impacts on workers' rights and women's rights.

Director Daniel Anaya (who was recently seen on stage in “Of Mice and Men”) has chosen well-known actors to bring this story to the attention of The Adobe audiences – alongside Kristine are Clair Row, Kelly Hughes, Sarah Kesselring, Bailey Hunt, Michael Weppler and Castalia Mayerhofer. He considers this play to be incredibly compelling. “I am particularly drawn to the poetic and powerful nature of the writing, which begins with the Muriel Rukeyser (poet, essayist and political activist) quote: “If one woman were to tell the truth about her life, the world would split open.” While this play does not sugarcoat the difficult events of the past, it manages to tell a tragic story with remarkable poise and grace.”

Performances Fridays and Saturdays at 7.30pm, Sundays at 2pm. Additional performances Thursdays July 23 and August 6 at 7.30pm ($10 tix available). Saturday August 1 at 2.00pm only.

EARLY CLOSURE AT 3PM ON MARCH 20TH DUE TO PRIVATE EVENT
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC), this exhibition highlights the Center’s history through Pueblo imagery and perspectives of the past, present, and future. A combination of fifty objects from the IPCC’s Collections and Archives, with an emphasis on Pueblo pottery, illustrates the significance of the Center as a gathering place where Pueblo arts and culture are celebrated by visitors from around the world and, at once, nurtured by Pueblo communities across the generations. Gallery videos, updated throughout the year, will feature interviews with Pueblo artists, scholars, and culture bearers that present insider views of the IPCC. Join us to celebrate the exhibition on March 21 from 5-8pm during our free, public reception. Visit indianpueblo.org for 50th anniversary program schedule updates including an exhibit closing event on February 15, 2027.

Organized by the School for Advanced Research (SAR) and the Vilcek Foundation, Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery, a unique traveling exhibition featuring over 100 historic and contemporary works in clay, offers a visionary understanding of Pueblo pots as vessels that carry community-based knowledge and personal experience. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC), established by the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico in 1976, welcomes the pottery vessels back to the Southwest as the “returning home” host venue of the exhibition’s four-year national tour. Curated by the Pueblo Pottery Collective, Grounded in Clay opens at the IPCC as the leading program of the Center’s 50th anniversary celebration year. The exhibition and its associated events are generously supported by the First Nations Development Institute and Noon Whistle Fund.

Dancers and hula hoopers are also warmly welcomed to add movement and grace to the rhythmic mix. In addition to drums, feel free to bring bells, blocks, chimes, toads, and didgeridoos to enrich our symphony of sounds.
