Where Culture Meets Community

Gallup offers a unique array of happenings and events to discover throughout the year. From the colorful and charismatic Red Rock Balloon Rally with over 100 hot air balloons floating through the sky to the vibrant ancestral songs and dances performed at the Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial, Gallup has something for everyone.

For those who appreciate the rush of adrenaline, check out the rodeo or the bull riding championships hosted at Red Rock Park Arena. Art-lovers will be blown away by the artisan turquoise jewelry, katsina dolls, and handcrafted blankets found at the Native American Art Auctions and local arts & crafts fairs. For the athlete, we host a variety of biking, endurance races, and sporting events and for the not-so-athletic, cheer on the competitors at the after-parties with food vendors, kids activities, and more.

The city’s creative spirit comes alive at the Gallup Artscrawl, a community event held every month. Explore local and professional art, gallery openings, live performances and family friendly activities.
