Event Details
Join us for a special Family Day in celebration of the upcoming winter season. In New Mexico, a farolito is a traditional holiday decoration consisting of a paper bag, partially filled with sand, and a candle, typically a votive or tea light. These glowing bags are often placed along walkways, rooftops, and around homes to create a festive and warm atmosphere. While often called farolitos, they are also referred to as “luminarias” in some parts of New Mexico! Bring the whole family to join us in creating these wonderful decorations to light up your front yards!
Planning to stop by for Family Day? RSVP ahead of time! While registration is not mandatory to attend, registering ahead of time helps us prepare. Thank you for helping us out!
