Mayor Tim Keller's 2025 State of the City Address
Join Mayor Tim Keller and the City of Albuquerque for the 2025 State of the City Address and Community Celebration on Saturday, August 23, 2025 at the ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden.
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.
