Harvest Festival
Santa Fe, NM

The Santa Fe Harvest Festival is a hands-on chance for families to experience traditional New Mexico culture and ritual. Stomp grapes, help string red chile ristras, and cook tortillas on the outdoor griddle.

For the Kids: Children can create tradition corn-husk dolls, eat biscochitos (traditional New Mexico cookies) straight from a beehive oven, and watch burros crush sorghum to make molasses. Weavers will be on site all day to demonstrate how to wash, dye, and spin wool, while two working mills will be in motion as millers explain the history and process of weaving.

For the Parents: Ballet Folklórico dancers will perform as well as Matachines—a captivating dance indigenous to Mexico and New Mexico. Throughout the weekend, the festival puts on fashion shows featuring beautiful Mexican fashions both contemporary as well as traditional.

Details: October 4–5, 2008; www.newmexico.org.
