Isleta Amphitheater
Albuquerque, NM · Amphitheater
Isleta Amphitheater in Albuquerque, now branded First Financial Credit Union Amphitheater, runs a clear bag policy. You can bring a clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC tote no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, plus a small clutch up to 6 by 9 inches that does not have to be clear. No other bags of any type are allowed.
Backpacks, coolers, and outside alcohol all stay home, and there is no bag check, so a non-approved bag has to go back to the car. The desert venue sits south of downtown Albuquerque, so plan for warm evenings and bring a sealed water bottle.
