Last Saturdays on Harvard
2026-04-25 15:00 - 21:00 | Bricklight District, 143 Harvard Dr SE, Albuquerque, NM, 87106, United States
There’s a certain kind of Saturday that feels like a reset from the week. The sun is out, the pace is slower, and the city feels a little more like a neighborhood. The Last Saturday on Harvard is that kind of day.
You’ll wander a lively corridor filled with local makers, artists, and small businesses, each booth like a tiny storefront with a story behind it. You’ll find the candle you didn’t know you needed, the print that becomes the centerpiece of your wall, the treat you promised yourself you wouldn’t get, and then absolutely do. You’ll run into someone you haven’t seen in a while. You’ll meet someone new. You’ll leave with a bag in your hand and a little more joy than you arrived with…and here’s the best part: every time you show up, you’re helping build something bigger than a market.
Proceeds benefit Celebrate Albuquerque Foundation, and that support fuels our mission to grow a real network for creatives and small businesses, one built on education, opportunity, and connection. We’re creating more chances for local entrepreneurs to learn, get visible, build confidence, and expand into new neighborhoods.
This is how a city becomes more vibrant, more resilient, and more full of possibility.
So come take the stroll. Bring a friend. Stay awhile. Shop small. Dance with us. Feel the energy.
This is Last Sarurdays on Harvard!

Amid the present moment of climate catastrophe, rapidly escalating administrative violence, and widespread anxiety, a cast of performers are born from a murky collective unconscious into their own looping, improvised movement cycles that lead, perhaps inexplicably, back into joyful, muddy communion.
Inspired by literary references including Kaveh Akbar’s acclaimed Martyr! and Toni Morrison’s canonical Beloved一as well as ongoing conversations with local queer, melanated, and allied creatives一this contemporary dance project envisions a cosmic pull toward connection, even when relief from everyday struggle feels inconceivable.
