About this event

Harwood Museum of Art and Taos Land Trust are teaming up to celebrate Northern New Mexican land traditions including adobe construction, seed saving, textile production and animal husbandry at Rio Fernando Park. This FREE all ages event will be the culmination of a series of adobe festivals happening across Taos elementary schools.

The event will include live music by the Arellano Brothers, a community meal, the grand opening of the KINnection Children’s Garden, storytelling with Twirl, horno cooking with Henrietta Gomez, sheep shearing demonstrations with La Paysanne Farms, farm stands, a seed saving workshop, storytelling, weaving and spinning.
