The hundreds in attendance at International Mud Day agreed on one thing: Fun means getting filthy. 

Seems that rule was clear as 鈥� mud?

Among those having a blast were Ane Silva and her friend Kim Graham, who spent Saturday morning at the Albuquerque Open Space Visitor Center turning heads among a crowd of mostly parents and their kids.

鈥淎re we the only adults without kids here?鈥� Silva asked, before answering her own question with a laugh.

鈥淭he kids are great, they look really surprised to see a couple of old ladies playing in the mud. It鈥檚 fun to see the parents with their kids too,鈥� she said. 

鈥淲e wanted some dirty fun,鈥� said Graham, 53. 鈥淚t heals your inner child.鈥�

The pair were just two faces in a line that started forming before the gates even opened, according to Dionne Epps, manager of the city-run visitor center.

鈥淲e鈥檝e had about 500 people come through,鈥� Epps said. 

Event-goers could surf down a mudslide, tackle a mud obstacle course, 鈥渃ook鈥� in a mud kitchen (dirty soda, anyone?), and cool off in a water play area. 

The decision to attend was an easy one for Oziel and Raquelle Garcia, parents of two children.

鈥淲e鈥檝e seen it on YouTube so my wife thought that we should do this for the kids,鈥� Oziel said. 

鈥淚t feels good, nasty and dirty,鈥� Raquelle told the Journal while wallowing in a mud pit. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a nice thing to do with your family.鈥�


International Mud Day has been a community fixture since 2021 and Epps said she鈥檚 seen the event grow each year. 

鈥淚t takes a lot of help, a lot of volunteers and employees,鈥� she said. 鈥淏ut I hope that it reminds people to get out and enjoy nature.鈥�
