Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, June 7th, 2025.
Today the city is buzzing with activity as two major events take center stage. The Albuquerque Pride Parade is marching down historic Route 66 through the Nob Hill neighborhood, bringing colorful celebration to our community. The parade is one of the highlights of Pride Month festivities happening across New Mexico this weekend.
Families with children might want to head over to Franklin Plaza for the 4th annual Albuquerque Touch-A-Truck event running from 10 AM to noon. This free family-friendly gathering lets kids explore fire trucks, rescue vehicles, construction equipment and more. The Animal Welfare Pet Adoption Van will be there with animals ready for new homes, and food trucks will be on site for hungry visitors.
In city news, the Albuquerque City Council held its latest meeting this past Monday, following up on budget discussions from last month. The council has been implementing the city's operating budget for fiscal year 2026, which will run through June of next year.
On the public safety front, police are still investigating Tuesday's car crash at Sportsman's Warehouse on Renaissance Boulevard, where a vehicle plummeted down an embankment. One person was critically injured in the incident. Additionally, authorities have recovered a body from a diversion channel following flash flooding earlier this week.
Community support continues to build for an Albuquerque man facing deportation, with local organizations rallying behind him. Meanwhile, a detention hearing for a teen accused in a homeless man's death has been rescheduled.
Local restaurants across the city are raising funds for the family of a fallen Bloomfield police officer as part of a community outreach effort. And in a heartwarming story, a local girl's act of kindness has captured the attention of an author, demonstrating the positive impact our youth can have.
Food enthusiasts should note that Crumbl is set to open its fourth New Mexico location, adding to our growing restaurant scene. And cocktail lovers can still enjoy New Mexico Cocktail Week, which wraps up this weekend with special offerings at participating establishments.
With clear skies and warm temperatures expected today, both the Pride Parade and Touch-A-Truck event should proceed without weather concerns. Perfect conditions for getting out and enjoying our vibrant community events.
This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
