Visited the NM State Fairgrounds for the 2026 Gathering of Nations. This years theme is the #lastdance as it will be the last year of the Gathering of Nations Pow Wow in Albuquerque NM. This city of Albuquerque NM is in talks to start a Pow Wow under different leadership as it brings tourism to the city. This annual event is known as to bring millions of dollars into the local economy helping a lot of small businesses. It’s a beautiful event.
