Maybe it’s because my middle child is getting ready to graduate from high school this weekend, but I’ve really got summer on the brain lately! The sun is out. The breeze is cool. The sky is blue and I’m super excited to see what things are happening in Los Alamos this summer!

Tuesdays @ the Square

This super fun summer event happens every Tuesday evening June 11-July 23. The beautiful stretch of lawn beside Boese Brothers in the Central Park Square. Grab dinner at a nearby restaurant or bring it with you and sit on the lawn and enjoy the live music!

Featured bands are all from our local regions. The music will be a mixture of jazz, folk rock, swing, and Tejano sound. The opener on June 11 is Candace Vargas, a 22 time award winning female Tejano vocalist known for her incredible voice and sound. She performs with the Northern 505 and I hope everyone heads out to enjoy this great performance to kick off a wonderful summer of fun! Learn more HERE.

Science Fest!

No summer in Los Alamos would be complete without Science Fest! This year’s theme is Creative Energy. Registrations are open now for some of the coolest parts of this event so I hope everyone clicks on the link and gets their kiddos signed up for a great time!

Discovery Day is on July 13 this year and promises to be just as educationally engaging as past years. The bulk of the fun stuff for kiddos happens between 9AM and 2PM. There will be food, music, fun crafts, exciting experiments to play with and plenty to learn! From noon to 2PM there will be “Beer & Music” for adults. Central Avenue is closed for this event and booths will be set up at Ashley Pond and on the lawn at Fuller Lodge. Don’t miss this amazing annual event!

Discovery After Dark was previously called “Play Crawl”. This is Science Fest for Adults! Get a team of your smartest friends and challenge yourselves to tabletop math games, astronomy challenges, and a whole list of other fun things to do around Los Alamos! Check out the Science Fest website for more information.

Los Alamos Summer Concert Series

No summer in Los Alamos would be complete without our Gordon’s Concerts! Of course, they aren’t called that anymore. But Conoco Hill is still Conoco Hill to a lot of us and in the same way, the concerts will always belong to Gordons.

Concerts kick off THIS WEEKEND with the Powell Brothers on May 24! Come out and enjoy food trucks, bounce houses, and all of your friends and neighbors as we get outside and LOVE the heck out of Ashley Pond for the Summer of 2024! You can see a full concert lineup HERE.

It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for a quick place to stop and let the kids burn off some energy, or you’re looking for a film about the National Parks. PEEC has you covered! This summer the PEEC has a full schedule of events for all ages. Most events are free and all of them are fun and educational. Check out their schedule for the latest information on Nature Walks, films, Astronomy tutorials, Planetarium presentations, and of course, summer CAMPS!
