The car scene in Albuquerque

Albuquerque sits on old Route 66, which runs through the city as Central Avenue, and New Mexico has one of America's richest lowrider traditions. The car calendar peaks in late summer and autumn, with car shows at the New Mexico State Fair at Expo New Mexico in September and a car show during the Balloon Fiesta in October.

Year-round, Cars and Coffee Albuquerque meets every Saturday morning at Satellite Coffee on Jefferson Street NE, as it has since 2016. Route 66 Summerfest in Nob Hill each July is another highlight.

Drives and car destinations

  • Sandia Crest Scenic Byway (NM-536): Climbs to over 10,600 ft on the back side of the Sandia Mountains.
  • Turquoise Trail (NM-14): Historic back road to Santa Fe through Madrid and Cerrillos.
  • Central Avenue (Route 66): Neon signs and classic motels through Nob Hill and downtown.

Local tips

  • Albuquerque is over 5,000 ft up: older carbureted engines may run rich.
  • Summer monsoon storms usually arrive in the afternoon, so morning meets are best.
