Heights Summerfest

Let me just start by saying Way to Go ABQ!!! Summerfest rocks! All of the music groups were amazing but Smash Mouth really brought it tonight. Where else can you go with your family and enjoy free music, grab some swag, fill your belly, shop and hang out with thousands of your friends? Summerfest I tell ya! This is an amazing venue. There is something for every age! From the amazing park, to the rock wall attached to the racket ball courts, to a skate park you name it you can find it. There should be some more events here! We had a blast. :)

First Summerfest of 2014 started off with a bang! North Domingo Baca park was the best place to host this event. Tho, the vendors were limited, I truely enjoyed the fact that there was a line of food truck there for me to choose the different type of food I wish to try.
The bands that the city of Albuquerque invited were amazing especially Le Chat Lunatique and Cherry Poppin Daddies. The grass was the perfect place to put the stage and there were tons of people swing dancing to the music!
The only downside was the parking was not very well organized it seems. My husband and I opted to walk from our house but as we got close to the park, it did not seem obvious where it is a good place to park and the security just stood around and did nothing. There should have been a team there to direct parking.
Other than parking, everything else was great and fun!

Big bad Voodoo Daddy in ABQ for free. It was a great time even though it was super windy that night. We didn’t see any of the other acts but there were plenty of food trucks and vendors and a beer garden close to the action. Parking wasn’t nearly as terrible as I expected. It was good times and away from Nob Nill, finally!
