On Saturday, Route 66 was filled with music, pride, and people cheering for 50 years of Albuquerque’s Pride Parade. 

The parade began at Wellesley and Central at 10 a.m. and floats and performers marched all the way to San Mateo and Central. Floats were colorful and bright, some playing music and some surrounded by dancers or performers. 

Parade watchers cheered and danced while floats and cars from Tractor Brewing Co., New Mexico United, and more small businesses and Alameda Greenhouse spread rainbows and positive energy down the street. 

If you missed it, there will be many more pride events this month. Check out @visitabq on Instagram or VisitAlbuquerque.org for more details.
