Bike Valet Comes to ¡Globalquerque!

The NHCC is conveniently located right next to the Bosque bike path and an easy straight shot from downtown. We noticed last year that all the bike racks were completely full during the festival. This year we are teaming up with BikeABQ to make sure there is plenty of bike parking, both during the day and the evening. Avoid any parking hassles and ride right up to the gate. Please practice safe biking and if you are joining us at night, be sure to bring lights and reflective clothing! We'd love you to bike, but we want you to get home safely too!
