📅 SEPTEMBER IN ABQ. TAP IN WITH YOUR LOCAL SCENE. 👀

The Agora Cipher Monthly Local Event Calendar is here for September!

Every month, we highlight events happening throughout Albuquerque from local venues, promoters, artists, creatives, and members of the Agora Cipher community to help put more eyes on what’s happening around the city.

Live music. Art. Shows. Open mics. Community events. Local performances. Whatever corner of the creative community you’re part of, there’s something happening.

Save the calendar. Share it. Pick a show. Pull up. Support somebody local. 🤝

The goal is simple: make it easier for Albuquerque’s creative community to find each other, support each other, and keep building something bigger together.

🎃 AND OCTOBER… WE’VE GOT SOMETHING SPECIAL COMING.

October 31st — The Agora Cipher Halloween Special. 👻

We’re putting together something bigger for Halloween, and we’re looking for people from the community who want to be part of making it happen.

🎭 WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!
We’re looking for actors and helping crew for the Halloween event. If you want to get involved, help behind the scenes, or play a part in the experience, DM .

More details coming soon. 🎃

📩 WANT YOUR EVENT FEATURED IN OCTOBER?

Flyers should include the event name, date, time, venue, and age restriction if applicable.
