There are food trucks, restaurants, breweries all around the railyards. You could also bring your own food, chairs, water bottles, etc. These shows have a water refill station as well as a station for dividing our waste according to categories of landfill/recycling/compostable and a volunteer to help sort.
Now, the Rail Runner part! Here is the link for the special Friday schedule...

The show starts at 7 PM with opening act SEANCHAÍ . You can ride the Rail Runner up to Santa Fe anytime you want but the latest you should probably go is around the 5 PM times, which will land you on the plaza at 7:22 PM. I am planning to take the 4:35 PM train from Montano station to get up to the railyard by 6:05 so I can have time to grab some yummies from the food trucks and catch all of the first band.
The last return train leaves Santa Fe at 10:05 PM and gets back into Albuquerque by 11:29 PM to the Montano Station. All times are on the link above. We should ride back together on the upper deck of the last car. (I think. There might be some logistics to plan). Definitely buy your tickets before hand. It was fun to dance on the train ride back to 'Burque. Security didn't mind us dancing in the aisles. Please be mindful of them and the fact that the train has multiple starts and stops on the ride home.
Of course, if you don't want to do the Rail Runner part you can just meet us on the SF Railyard Plaza to dance to VIEUX FARKA TOURÉ and opener SEANCHAÍ .
Whoopee!!!
