Following last year’s successful launch, Space Fiesta will return June 11 from 4–9 p.m. at the historic Lobo Theater in Albuquerque. This free, family-friendly event celebrates New Mexico’s legacy and leadership in space, tech, and innovation.

Organized by CNM Ingenuity’s ActivateNM, Space Valley, and presented in partnership with the City of Albuquerque’s Economic Development Department with a special thanks to Visit Albuquerque, Space Fiesta 2025 will again bring together visionaries, artists, and the public for a one-of-a-kind experience that explores what’s next in space and beyond.

This year’s event features:

  • Interactive technology exhibits, hardware, and simulations
  • A showcase spotlighting New Mexico’s most innovative space and tech
  • Immersive art installations inspired by space exploration and retro-futuristic design
  • Talks and presentations from industry leaders, creatives, and space experts
  • Food and drinks available for purchase—free drink ticket available to the first 500 people in the door.

“We were thrilled by the incredible turnout and community energy at our inaugural Space Fiesta at the Railyards last summer,” says Harold Lavender from CNM Ingenuity. “Space Fiesta 2025 is going to be the headline event of Atomic 66, and we’re happy to be a part of a great team creating a unique event that brings people together and shows off what Albuquerque can do.”

This event is free and open to the public thanks to continued support from the City of Albuquerque’s Economic Development Department. Larger organizations can participate through event sponsorship. For details, email [email protected].

About Atomic 66:

Atomic 66 is not a conference. It’s not a tradeshow. It’s a movement. This is a new kind of platform—one that invites the public to experience the space economy not through booths and pamphlets, but through interactive installations, storytelling, and wonder. Learn more at http://atomic66.org .
