Event details
Albuquerque’s Expo New Mexico fills with drumbeats, regalia, and the pageantry of Grand Entry during the Gathering of Nations. The 2026 edition, billed as “The Last Dance,” brings dancers, singers, and artists together for two packed days that feel like a cultural journey as much as an event.Families can move between the powwow competitions, the Indian Traders Market, and food vendors, then step outside for a breather in the nearby open-air fairgrounds. Plan for long evenings, bring ear protection for younger kids, and consider arriving early to find parking and seats.
