Sell your food or crafts at ¡Globalquerque!

For the fourth year, the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC) will be hosting ¡Globalquerque!, New Mexico's Annual Celebration of World Music and Culture. Dates for this year's festival are Friday, September 19 and Saturday, September 21, 2008.

As a celebration of world music and culture, ¡Globalquerque! features a wide range of international performers as well as artists from New Mexico's varied musical traditions. There will be free educational workshops, community outreach events, the best in world music (16-18 international artists from five continents on three stages over the course of two days) and a Global Village featuring food and crafts from around the world for sale.

The Global Village will include craft and food vendors highlighting Albuquerque's diverse local ethnic communities. Vendors will have a fantastic opportunity to sell to an estimated audience of over 4,000 participants during the free events and the evening ticketed events. Non-food vendors are expected to be open and staffed from 4 PM to 8 PM on Friday and 11 AM to 8 PM on Saturday. Food booths are expected to stay open until 10 PM. All booths are welcome to remain open until 11 PM.
