Former President Trump to make Halloween stop in Albuquerque
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Former President Donald Trump will hold a rally in Albuquerque this Thursday at noon near the Albuquerque International Sunport.
The Republican candidate for president will speak to supporters at CSI Aviation, located at 2503 Clark Carr Loop SE, per information from his campaign. Trump last spoke in New Mexico at a rally in Rio Rancho in September 2019. He also visited Albuquerque in 2016.
Trump will be joined by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Nella Domenici and U.S. House Congressional District 2 candidate Yvette Herrell, according to the Republican Party of New Mexico.
A spokesperson for the City of Albuquerque said Sunday that the Trump campaign still owes them $444,986 – including interest that is still accruing.
Registration for tickets for the general public is now available online. Once you register, you will receive detailed information on direction and parking.
What to know if you go
Parking will open at 5 a.m. and shuttles will begin operating at 5:30 a.m. Doors open at 8 a.m. before event programming begins at 10 a.m. and Trump speaks at noon. They ask you to arrive to the parking lots no later than 7 a.m.
You can’t park at the site but here is where you can park off-site (click/tap each location for the exact address):
- Private red lot
- Airport lot near I-25 and Sunport Boulevard
- Montage at Mesa del Sol (Blue lot; ADA-accessible)
- Rideshare drop-off at the Sunport
Initially, parking was going to be at Isleta Amphitheater. However, Democratic State Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard said Live Nation Entertainment operates the venue and it can’t rent out parking at other locations. The commissioner said the only solution was for the rally to have parking elsewhere or have the rally at the amphitheater.
