Coronado State Monument, 485 Kuaua Rd, Bernalillo, NM
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. The importance of the traditions of natural seasonal 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. Food vendors will be available.
