Día de los Muertos Las Cruces

About

Held in Las Cruces each early November, this free community Día de los Muertos celebration features a vendor mercadito showcasing local artisans, juried art exhibits, live music, community-built altars (audience-judged), a silent auction, and food offerings. The event draws hundreds and positions itself as both culturally rooted and contemporary — a strong fit if you're looking to reach a community-engaged audience during a meaningful celebration.
