Celebrate all things Irish on Friday, March 13 at Blarney Bash, which features the extra-Geoff Tate arm of Queensrÿche as well as Vixen, at 8pm at Sandia Resort & Casino’s Grand Ballroom. General admission to this 21-and-over concert runs you $45 via sandiacasino.com or at the door. This is a standing room-only event with no seating available so plan to remain vertical as you belt out “Silent Lucidity,” “Another Rainy Day” or “Edge of a Broken Heart” alongside these glam rock innovators. Concessions and alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase with ID. (Samantha Anne Carrillo)

City on the Edge is a breezy, smart podcast looking at the stories from Albuquerque history that have often been overlooked. Each episode takes a deep dive into a topic like the 1955 crash of TWA flight 260, Sandia Man or the 1918 quarantine. Worthwhile listening that will spur your curiosity about things you didn’t even know about in the city where you live. It’s free and available wherever you get your podcasts. (Clarke Condé)

Looking for a little chile? The 2020 Bosque Chile Festival, a celebration of food, art, and culture on the Rio Grande, is happening Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 16, with times waiting to be officially announced. But due to COVID-19 and the State of New Mexico public health order, the festival will be presented virtually! There will still be entertainment, art activities, a virtual artisan market, chile-chef demonstrations, educational workshops and more. This free, all-ages event is meant to give those stuck at home a chance to see what the state has to offer. If you are a high-quality chile-inspired and authentic New Mexican business with an e-commerce website and want to be a vendor, there is still time. Applications are being accepted until Wednesday, August 5. For more information email bosquechilefestival@bernco.gov.
