The second Monday in October is Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The IPCC honors the Indigenous people of New Mexico each year with Native dances, presentations and artist demonstrations.
Each December, the IPCC hosts a Pueblo Gingerbread House Contest. The Pueblo Shop & Stroll happens in early December, where visitors can shop from Native artists selling ornaments, Nativity sets, art and more while enjoying the luminarias in the IPCC courtyard. On Saturdays in December, families can participate in the Pueblo tradition of telling stories by the fire.
