The aspens have turned on the North side of the Sandias so it must be Balloon Fiesta time. Don't own a balloon? No problem. Come to the Placitas Cafe and you can drown your sorrows in a pint of great beer or your favorite vino. And do it all while listening to some great live music! Stick that in your dirigible!
On Friday, Oct 3rd, RockZonE will be at the Cafe from 6 - 8 pm. Falling rock is actually a lot safer than a balloon falling on you.

On Friday, August 29th, Bohemian Sol will be at the Cafe from 6 - 8 pm. and even if it's raining, they bring on the sol.
