Heart of New Mexico Fiber and Art Gathering

The Heart of New Mexico Fiber and Art Gathering is a two-day outdoor festival at WildLife West Park in Edgewood, New Mexico, in the high desert east of Albuquerque. The event runs twice a year and doubles as a fundraiser for the wildlife park, which gives it an unusual setting for a fiber festival. Vendors and artists set up outdoors, with workshops covering knitting, crocheting, weaving, spinning, felting, and dyeing alongside live demonstrations, competitions, and music. Family activities run alongside the vendor marketplace, and instruction covers multiple skill levels.
