Experience one of Albuquerque’s brightest holiday traditions as the Twinkle Light Parade lights up Route 66 in the heart of Nob Hill. More than 130 illuminated floats, community groups, school teams, and local businesses roll down Central Avenue creating a mile of festive color, music, and holiday cheer.
Bring your family and friends, explore Nob Hill’s shops and restaurants before the parade, and enjoy a night filled with community spirit and sparkling holiday magic. Stay until the end for a special appearance from Santa as he closes the parade in classic Route 66 style.
