Fiesta of Cultures

¡Viva la Fiesta! Enjoy panoramic views of the Rio Grande, the Bosque and the Sandia Mountains during Fiesta of Cultures, a celebration of local traditions including Pueblo, Hispanic and Anglo.

The emphasis is on craft demonstrations, folk art and pre-industrial lifeways. Before overcrowded freeways and information highways imposed the relentless sameness that is modern living, life here in the Rio Grande Valley followed the more natural rhythms of spring flood and fall harvest. There was a season for everything, “and a time for every purpose under heaven.” The importance of these natural rhythms is reflected in the care and skill that our ancestors lavished on such seemingly simple tasks as: carving a drum from a cottonwood stump; dying skeins of wool for a blanket; or forging a horseshoe with a hammer and anvil.

This event is geared toward families with children. There is no admission charge for any of the Fiesta of Culture activities. Food vendors will be available.
