About this event
The Twinkle Light Parade is a free, family-friendly holiday event that illuminates a mile-long stretch of Route 66 in Nob Hill, with entries from local businesses, community and school groups and a variety of Albuquerque organizations. The parade is expected to dazzle thousands of spectators, takes place rain or shine, and well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome.
Our take: Come early: Central Avenue closes to traffic in the afternoon, so you can shop or eat in Nob Hill before claiming a viewing spot.
Parking
Free park & ride from the lot at the southwest corner of Lomas Blvd and University Blvd, buses 3–10:30pm to UNM's Johnson Field.
Good to know
Sat 5:15pm (Central Ave closes to traffic from 3pm)
