Los Alamos is celebrating “Downtown Friday Nights” every other Friday on June 14, 28, and 26 to support local businesses and invite visitors and newcomers.

“Downtown Friday Nights are a great kick-off to programming in the Creative District- our version of an Arts and Culture District in Los Alamos,” said Linda Deck, Museum Director of the Bradbury Science Museum, ““We’re drawing on the already wonderful arts, culture, and creative places and people in Los Alamos, and gathering them together in a ‘critical mass’ so that there are multiple ways to feed your creative side. This is just the first of a continuing lineup of Creative District events throughout the year.”

Los Alamos has been named one the top 10 “Best Small Towns to Visit in 2013” by Smithsonian Magazine, March 2013.

This year's New Mexico Chamber Music Festival will wrap up with two free concerts.

The weeklong New Mexico Chamber Music Festival was sponsored by the City of Albuquerque's Cultural Services Department, and calls two performances by stu­dents, the "highlight” of the event.

The first concert is set for 7:30 p.m. on Friday June 7th at the University of New Mexico Center of the Arts' Keller Hall. It showcases 14 students who will be divided into four cham­ber groups– two piano quar­tets and two piano trios, plus addi­tional con­fig­u­ra­tions of piano/string duos and a string quartet. The performers were handpicked by the creator and organizer of the festival pianist Pamela Pyle. Pyle is a graduate of The Julliard School, New York City and the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and currently an Associate Professor at the Univeristy of New Mexico.

The final concert is scheduled for Saturday, June 8th at 2 p.m.

It's Albuquerque's 307th Birthday! Historic Old Town will host a celebration welcoming locals to enjoy the festivities on Saturday, April 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The celebration will include many children's activities such as face painting, rock wall climbing, panning for gold and lots more. The best part of the event is for families to be able to learn about Albuquerque's history and background, while enjoying a day out with the family. Albuquerque has a rich history that some may not know much about, but this birthday party will help those discover how their city became what it is today by exploring different 'eras' that have effected the Albuquerque area.

Historic Old Town is located just south of Rio Grande and I-40.
