WEST FEST

West Fest is our annual community meeting disguised as a fiesta, a vibrant gathering that brings neighbors, families, local businesses, and community partners together for a day of celebration and collaboration. Enjoy live music, explore offerings from local business vendors, and connect with representatives from the City of Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, and a variety of nonprofits that provide resources and support for our community.

One of the West Fest’s most popular attractions is our car show featuring more than 200 vehicles, showcasing local pride and creativity. While you’re taking in the festivities, we’ll also be gathering valuable community surveys to hear directly from the people who live here. These surveys help us understand the most important needs, wants, and ideas of our residents.

The West Central Community Development Group uses this feedback to identify priorities and guide future projects—ensuring that our work continues to reflect the vision and goals of the community we serve.

Your support—through sponsorship or volunteerism—helps us continue this impactful community gathering. Together, we can continue to not only ensure voices are heard but that community has a space to come together to celebrate one another.
