Monday is Memorial Day and that is the traditional start of the nightly Indian dancing at the county courthouse plaza in downtown Gallup. They take place until Labor Day each year.
With the quarantine and lockdown in place, it is highly doubtful that the dancing will begin.

The summer season is when things liven up in Gallup. During the summer, there are a number of rodeos (my favorite events to attend), the Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial, rallies, the Route 66 Cruise, art shows and other events.
Things are so much in flux that even the Albuquerque balloon fiesta is questionable (the balloon rally in Gallup takes place in December).
Are we in for a dull summer?
It will be interesting to see how things end up. Only time will tell.
