The holidays are for family, friends and fun festivities. So bundle up and experience one of these New Mexico Christmas traditions:

River of Lights
Kick off the holiday season with sparkle at the River of Lights, held at the ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden. All ages are guaranteed to grin at this glowing spectacle.

Canyon Road Farolito Walk
This Santa Fe tradition is a favorite for Christmas Eve. Small sand-filled paper bags illuminated with votive candles line the historic neighborhood streets and adobe walls. Carolers sing as they walk through the streets. Don’t miss this enchanting event!

Winter Spanish Market
The annual Winter Spanish Market celebrates New Mexico artists, music, food and more! Bring the whole family to celebrate our local customs and culture.
