Carnuel Road Parade & Fiesta, Sept 2012
View the photo journal of the Fiesta.
In September a parade and fiesta is held on the northern side of Downtown Albuquerque along Mountain Road. The event is named after the original road--Carnuel. For a great explantion about the history and a run down of the day, visit Barelas Babe's post at Duke City Fix.
The parade and fiesta evolved from local residents in Sawmill and Wells Park wanting to celebrate the area's cultural history and diversity. It brings neighbors together. Local organizations, such as Escuela del Sol school, the Harwood Art Center, the Sawmill Community Land Trust, the neighborhood associations of Wells Park, Sawmill, and the Downtown Neighborhoods Association (DNA), help sponsor and run the event.
The Rio Grande Down Syndrome Network not only helps sponsor, but also runs a Buddy Walk during the parade to raise awareness of Down Syndrome.
