Description
Join Mayor Tim Keller and the City of Albuquerque for this year’s State of the City at the beautiful ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden. This free, family-friendly evening is more than a speech — it’s a celebration of community, connection, and the future of our city. Come early to explore the Aquarium and or the brand-new Heritage Farm, then grab a spot on the lawn for a picnic-style evening in the garden.
Mayor Keller will share updates on key issues like crime, housing, and affordability, followed by live entertainment, hands-on activities, and a chance to connect with dozens of City departments.
