Best Time to Visit

For pleasant weather and fewer crowds, the best time to visit New Mexico is during the shoulder seasons: September to October and April to May.

While summer can be hot, especially in the lower elevations, it’s a good time to visit if you enjoy outdoor activities and festivals.

  • International Balloon Fiesta (Albuquerque): Held in October, this event draws large crowds, so book accommodations and flights well in advance. 
  • Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta (September): A food and wine festival celebrating New Mexico’s culinary scene.
