Head to the mountains for a fun 4th of July Celebration! Come on up and chill – enjoy our spectacular scenery, quaking aspen, wildflowers, and refreshing temperatures.

This year, a local bagpiper will play before speakers from the Village Municipality take the stage, bringing not just their words but also sweet treats in the form of cupcakes to share with the crowd. Following the Village speakers, get ready to groove to the captivating tunes of Shannon & Southern Soul. The highlight of the day is the thrilling Duck Races down the Rio Hondo! The best part? It’s all for a great cause – the proceeds from the Duck Races will go towards supporting Field Institute of Taos!

Kids and adults alike can enjoy Village emergency vehicles on display, food and drinks, shopping, Scenic Lift rides on Lift 1, lawn games, hiking gear and e-bike rentals, and plenty of trails to hike and easier nature strolls to enjoy.
