The National Hispanic Cultural Center’s 2nd Annual Luminito Celebration offers an immersive cultural experience grounded in New Mexico’s lively luminaria vs. farolito debate.
On December 14, enjoy music, biscochitos, a holiday mercado with local vendors, Matachines dance performances, holiday lights, and more as we celebrate the holiday season! This year’s celebration will begin shortly after a special performance of Héctor Armienta’s The Farolitos of Christmas, A new opera for families and children based on Rudolfo Anaya’s beloved children’s book, presented by NHCC partner Opera Southwest.
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.
