Notes

NHCC | Plaza Mayor

Whether you call them ‘farolitos’ or ‘luminarias,’ come celebrate New Mexico’s distinctive holiday lights at the Center! On Thursday, December 12, join us for a holiday celebration illuminated by the world’s tallest ‘Luminito,’ a 20-foot-tall, steel-reinforced structure inspired by New Mexico’s traditional holiday lights. The Luminito will be lit up during the event, spreading holiday cheer throughout the Center. 

Throughout the evening, the event will be further illuminated with festive lights and images projected onto some of the Center’s iconic buildings, offering a modern twist on traditional holiday lights. These projected lights will remain at the Center during evenings throughout the holiday season. The event will also feature performances by Matachine dancers, holiday refreshments, food trucks, and a flashlight storywalk featuring Rudolfo Anaya’s beloved children’s book, Farolitos. 

Free Community Event. As this is an outdoor holiday event, please dress warmly. This celebration is part of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs’ New Mexico Traditions program. Please let us know who will be attending below.
