Garden Music - Al Hurricane Jr. - Featuring Centennial of Route 66

This summer, something new is growing at the Botanic Garden. The concerts you love are getting a vibrant upgrade with more music, more education, and more ways to play! Introducing a reimagined Garden Music experience: each event blooms with its own unique theme, spotlighting different gardens throughout the park. Stroll, explore, and enjoy specialty food, hands-on discovery stations, and the sounds of incredible local artists. It’s more than a concert: it’s a full evening of fun, learning, and unforgettable moments for the entire family.

Celebrate the spirit of Albuquerque’s iconic 18-mile stretch of the Mother Road with a grand finale to this summer’s concert series! Albuquerque’s own Al Hurricane Jr. will light up the Festival Green Stage, bringing his legendary energy and getting everyone on their feet to dance in true Route 66 style.

The unmistakable sound of ranchera will fill the summer air as Al Hurricane Jr. takes the stage, delivering his signature blend of Latin, Western, rock, and jazz. Catch the music and let the celebration begin at 7 pm.

Curious about arthropods? This evening is your chance to dive into the fascinating world of butterflies and insects, from dragonflies and damselflies to beetles and moths. Explore, discover, and get up close with these incredible creatures!

Red, green, or Christmas? That’s the question of the night! Indulge in Route 66 favorites like green chile cheeseburgers with homemade chips, Navajo tacos, or red or green enchilada plates served with beans and rice.

Lebanon and Beyond Lounge Featured cocktail of the evening will be a Strawberry Thyme Lillet Spritzer.  This cocktail (or mocktail) is included with the Lounge upgrade.

Pack a picnic and head to the Botanic Garden for a memorable night of learning, dancing, and adventure.
