Candlelight Vigil to Honor Lives Lost and Uplift Recovery

On Saturday, Aug. 16, BernCo and the Keep NM Alive campaign will host a candlelight vigil honoring lives lost to substance use and standing in solidarity with families, survivors, and the community.

The free event begins at 7 p.m. at Civic Plaza in Downtown Albuquerque, bringing together residents, recovery advocates, providers, clergy, and local leaders for an evening of remembrance, resilience, and unity.

Celebrate New Mexico’s favorite flavor with an all-day event dedicated to local chile.

Shop artisan vendors, savor signature food and drink creations, and enjoy interactive chile demos - like how to make your own ristra and more.

DJ and live music performances will set the vibe and keep the spice going all day.
