More Music in Historic Old Town

Be sure to swing by one of the many gorgeous plazas in Old Town, as you never know what kind of performances you might run into. Also, stroll by the Albuquerque Museum Saturdays from 2-4 p.m. for Art in the Afternoon, including music and free admission.

Offering a visually appealing step into the past, the New Mexico Gunflighters Association put on performances in the afternoon, every second and fourth Sunday between March through October. Enjoy their skits as they act out scenes from the Wild West on San Felipe Road near the Rattlesnake Museum. Don't miss the family-friendly performances that include pops of gunfire throughout the show.
