Events on Central

César Bauvallet runs a Monday night Latin music class at Outpost through the summer, a recurring series for people who want to actually learn something rather than just watch. Outpost...

Muddy Boots Promotions brings SIN/SHRIFT to Juno's for a late-night set billed simply as "Ofoneless," which tells you this is not a casual Tuesday crowd. Juno's back room holds sound...

A benefit concert rooted in tribal energy advocacy, with Tia Wood, The Bearhead Sisters, Destroy Kasmin, and DJ Young Native bringing range to a lineup that moves between acoustic weight and harder-edged material. Kiva Auditorium sits inside the Convention Center on Central and holds a few thousand people, so this is not an intimate club...

The BioPark Zoo opens after regular hours for a ticketed adults-only evening walk through the grounds, with animals active in the cooler late-summer dusk in a way they simply aren't at 2 PM in August. The zoo sits a few blocks off Central, so this is a metro trip, but the parking is easy and...

César Bauvallet leads a recurring Tuesday night Latin music class at Outpost, one of the more acoustically honest rooms on the corridor.

Kanoa Kaluhiwa leads this all-ages weekly class at Outpost Performance Space, running every Tuesday through August 26 under the title Open Source. Outpost is one of the more thoughtfully run...

This is a multi-week adult band class taught by Kanoa Kaluhiwa, wrapping up with what is presumably a final session on August 26 at Outpost. Outpost runs these classes with actual ensemble structure, so expect to play with other adults rather than just practice alongside them. The ticket link will tell you what enrollment costs,...

New Mexico United, the USL Championship club that turned Albuquerque into a genuine soccer town, hosts Lexington SC at Isotopes Park on a late-August Thursday night. The supporter sections behind...
