The Gathering of Nations and more great events in 2023 in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Money.com just named their Top 50 Places to Travel to in 2023. They picked Albuquerque as one of the best places to visit in 2023. Start with the Gathering of Nations April 27-29th.  Or maybe you'd like to come in the Fall for the International Balloon Fiesta October 7-15th.  This year, Albuquerque will also be one of the optimal sites to view the Annular Eclipse of the Sun October 14th.  Hotel rooms and Airbnb's are already scarce for that week with those left now costing hundreds of dollars a night. 

It's that time of the year again for the World's Biggest Pow Wow.  

APRIL 27-29th, 2023 at Tingley Coliseum.

"The Gathering of Nations, which first took place in 1983, has grown into the largest powwow in North America. It serves as a platform for Indigenous peoples from the United States, Canada    and beyond to come together and share their unique traditions  while fostering cross-cultural understanding and respect.

Planned events include the grand entry of dancers, which takes place both April 28-29.

There will also be a horse and rider parade, while entertainers grace Stage 49, which features more than a dozen acts.

Tickets for Miss Indian World are $15, while one-day admission is $20. A two-day wristband for GON is $45. Tickets are available at gatheringofnations.com or at the door at Expo New Mexico during the event."    From Albuquerque Journal
