Rio Grande Community Farm in partnership with the the City of Albuquerque, Open Space is proud to announce the 2013 Maize Maze.

Every Fall, the Maize Maze attracts thousands of visitors to Rio Grande Community Farm.  Proceeds from the Maze fund the special programs that support education, wildlife, and our community.

2013 Fall Festivals and Mini Maze

It’s fall again, and time for the Rio Grande Community Farm’s 2013 Fall Festival & Mini-Maze! We’ve got all sorts of fun lined up, so be sure to attend each event and get in on all the action. From pumpkin games and activities to barnyard animals and getting dirty on the farm, you name it- we’ve got it!

Due to the drought of the past few years, we haven’t had water from the acequia to irrigate our corn, and the maze is going to be a little patchy and shorter than in years past. Nonetheless, during all Fall Festival events, visitors are welcome to explore and get lost in the maze as part of the fun.

On top of the Fall Festival, if you want to support us even further (with awesome “Thank You” prizes in return), go to our IndieGoGo fundraising campaign! Also, if you want to volunteer to help put on these events, fill out this form and we’ll be in touch with you to get you out on the farm!

Admission donations for our festival events are $5 a person, and the 5K registration costs are $25 until September 28th, after which the run is $30.

Below are snapshots of each event, with links to their full pages. Be sure to Like us on Facebook and share the fun with your friends and family!
