Spanish Fiesta in Pagosa Springs being revived

The Pagosa Springs Spanish Fiesta returns to the Archuleta County Fairgrounds, 344 U.S. Highway 84, from 3 to 8 p.m. July 29. Proceeds from the event will support older adults of Archuleta County through the services of Archuleta Seniors Inc. and a youth scholarship fund.

Tickets run from $15 to $30. Admission is free for children 15 years and younger as well as seniors 85 and older.

This is the 21st anniversary of the Spanish Fiesta in Pagosa Springs after being dormant for about 20 years. The fiesta was organized by the Spanish Fiesta Committee, formed by the families and royalty of past fiestas and Archuleta Seniors Inc. The headliner is New Mexican artist Al Hurricane Jr. and his band. Activities will include authentic Hispanic cuisine of Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexican as well as a variety of food trucks, artisan vendors, music from local band Los Mitotitos and folklorico dance performances from local artists.
