Overview
The NHCC’s Luminito Celebration is returning for another holiday season! This celebration offers an immersive cultural experience grounded in New Mexico’s lively luminaria vs. farolito debate.
On Dec. 7, join us for music, dancing, biscochitos, food trucks and holiday cheer before we light the world’s largest ‘Luminito.’ This year’s celebration will begin shortly after a special performance of Héctor Armienta’s The Farolitos of Christmas, an 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.
