Event Details

Start the holiday season right with Lights of Los Luceros! On Saturday, December 16, Los Luceros Historic Site will be dressed for the season: farolitos, luminarias, and Christmas lights will line the site’s walking paths, helping visitors find their way as they stroll under the magnificent Milky Way. The historic buildings will don their own holiday finery, too!

And that’s not all! Arts and crafts vendors, selling Pueblo pottery, quilts, biscochitos, and more, will be there to help with your last-minute gift purchases. Food vendors like Manko of Los Alamos and Eat Cute Bakery will take care of dinner for visitors and their families. (Black Mesa Winery also returns this year with their mulled wine and cider!) And there will be a kids’ corner brimming with fun activities!

If the weather is good, visitors will also have the chance to view the winter stars and observe bright plants with astronomers from PEEC and Pajarito Astronomers!

Admission will be $10 for adults and $5 for children 16 years old and younger. Museum of New Mexico Foundation, Native Americans, and members of the Amigos will be free. To purchase tickets, visit our website.

There is ongoing construction along NM-68. To plan your visit, please review the recommended routes on this downloadable map.
