The Las Cruces Heritage Festival is a family-friendly chance to remember, celebrate, share, and learn from the many histories and traditions of the Paso del Norte region. For the festival's first year, expect a relaxed, friendly, smaller-scale event with interactive booths on local history, hands-on arts and crafts workshops, demonstrations and explanations of how old tools work (e.g., hand-powered drills, pedal-driven sewing machines), books from local authors, music, dance, food, storytelling, and more. 

Tickets are available by donation and the event is located at Cruces Creatives.

If you would like to participate as an educator, performer, or vendor, contact Pat DeSimio at p.desimio@crucescreatives.org.
