Sweet Week
Sweet Week, held from March 29 to April 6, encourages community support for Albuquerque’s culinary businesses through discounts, promotions, classes, and events. It is also intended to raise awareness for Mandy’s Farm and similar organizations supporting inclusive employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
We invite you to support participating businesses by enjoying and purchasing local treats like coffee, truffles, cakes, and wine or participating in a unique event such as a truffle making class, a coffee cupping, or even a chocolate tasting certification class.
Sweet Week is a collaboration between the Southwest Chocolate and Coffee Fest and edible New Mexico, made possible by the support of Visit Albuquerque.
