This year's festival features three stages of music from five continents over two nights. Relax in the intimate courtyard setting of the Fountain Stage, enjoy larger bands in the state-of-the-art 691-seat Journal Theatre, or dance to groove-heavy world music on the Plaza Mayor's outdoor Festival Stage. The weekend promises to be another spectacular cultural and musical trip, as ¡Globalquerque! brings the world to Albuquerque and the Southwest with confirmed acts including Anda Union (Mongolia), Baladino (Germany/Israel), Federspiel (Austria), Fémina (Argentina), Herencia de Timbiquí (Colombia), Maya Kamaty (Réunion Island), Germán López (Canary Islands), Mokoomba (Zimbabwe), Dona Onete (Brazil), Orkesta Mendoza (Mexico/U.S.),  Rajab Suleiman & Kithara (Zanzibar), and Vân-Ánh-Võ (Vietnam).

In addition to the evening performances, ¡Globalquerque!hosts a free daytime Global Fiesta on Saturday, with family-focused workshops with visiting performers, international dance lessons, films, instrument-building for kids of all ages, other hands-on cultural craft-making, and many more musical and cultural surprises. The Global Village of Craft, Cuisine, and Culture is also open throughout the festival, with booths featuring artwork, artisan crafts, and gourmet international cuisine.
