Heights Summerfest

Experience a tradition!

Saturday, June 13, 2026 | 5-10 p.m. | North Domingo Baca Park

Thank you to everyone who came out for Heights Summerfest of 2026! The summer evening was packed with free, family-friendly outdoor entertainment. The event featured over 30 local artisans with handmade goods in The Shops, more than a dozen local food trucks serving up delicious bites, and local breweries, wineries, and distilleries pouring libations in The Cantina. Kids' activities kept smiling faces everywhere, with free face painting, inflatables, and a 25' climbing wall. Live music filled the park and brought the crowd together for an evening of sunshine and celebration. Gratitude goes out to the vendors, food trucks, and musicians who made the night possible. Check out the photos from this year below!

A big shout‑out to the artists who made Heights Summerfest shine. The Fabulous Martini‑Tones kicked the evening off with surf‑rock flair, Keeping Up with the Joneses brought soulful funk, ABBAquerque kept everyone dancing, and headliner Doctor Nativo closed the night with an electric mix of reggae, cumbia, and hip‑hop.
