About this event
The Rio Grande Arts & Crafts Holiday Festival calls itself the top-ranking holiday art festival in the Southwest, bringing a juried lineup of 175 fine craftsmen and artisans from across the nation to EXPO New Mexico. Shoppers find original pottery, handmade leather, one-of-a-kind jewelry and fine art, while local musicians, bands and pianists perform all day in both halls, including special performances by the New Mexico Ballet Company. Kids get their own holiday activities.
Our take: Head down Culinary Row hungry: vendors sell salsa, local honey, dips, soup mixes and oils, with samples to try.
Parking
Paid parking at EXPO New Mexico; enter Gate 3 at Copper & San Pedro, with shuttles around the grounds.
Good to know
Fri–Sat 10am–5pm, Sun 10am–4pm
