To showcase the bountiful state collection of local beverages and products, the Reds, Whites and Brews Happy Hours and one-of-a-kind country store will return to this year’s New Mexico State Fair in Albuquerque.

New this year, the happy hours will be held daily in the remodeled agriculture building courtyard from 3 to 8 p.m. Sept. 5 to 15.

The New Mexico Department of Agriculture will partner with Taste NM for the second year in a row to bring back the fan-favorite country store, which will boast all new attractions, including single-serve ice cream and T-shirts and hats for purchase.

The country store is located inside the agriculture building, west of the Manuel Lujan commercial building and south of the livestock barns. For more information about the country store and happy hours, visit https://statefair.exponm.com/.
