About Manuel Lujan Exhibit Complex
The Manuel Lujan Exhibit Complex is a multi-hall indoor exhibition space within Expo New Mexico, located on the city’s historic fairgrounds at 300 San Pedro Dr NE, Albuquerque. Split into Complex A, B, and C, it hosts a diverse lineup of events—from craft fairs and home shows to LEGO fan gatherings and ski swaps. Think of it as a reliable, straightforward hub for regional conventions and community events, with easy access and practical amenities for attendees.
Whether you’re planning a weekend shopping spree at a spring festival or browsing the latest quilts and sewing supplies, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and make the most of your visit.
Parking is managed by event staff and can involve multiple surface lots and nearby garages. For some events, on-site parking directions are provided (for example, entry from Copper & San Pedro). ABQ RIDE serves Expo NM with nearby hubs along central routes, including Park & Ride options.
