Come celebrate the 7th Annual New Mexico Prickly Pear Festival!
The New Mexico Prickly Pear Festival is BACK for our 7th year!
Returning to the gorgeous grounds of the Gutierrez Hubbell House for another year of food, music, arts and crafts and a lot more celebrating everything prickly pear. After a successful addition of an evening event to our festival last year, we’ll be bringing festival goers two full days and one prickly night packed with all kinds of activities.
Schedule
10-4pm:
In addition to another full day of vendors selling all kinds of prickly pear goods, festival goers can learn how to cook up their own prickly pear dishes at home with cooking demos from Three Sisters Kitchen, Lilia Avila of Fiesta on the Go, and James Beard Award winning chef Lois Ellen Frank and chef Walter Whitewater of Red Mesa Cuisine.
Folks will also have more opportunities to get crafty with two more natural dye workshops from Kalyn Finnell showing folks how to make the gorgeous carmine red dye with the prickly pear cochineal bug, block printing workshop with Amy Maestas, water color painting workshops with Scarlet Selleck, and activities for kids from Explora. And in the afternoon coming to our prickly pear stage folks can enjoy the sounds of Youngsville, Anything That Moves, and Levi Dean.
And inside the Hubbell House we’ll have a series of talks and workshops for farmers, ranchers, and gardeners on how and why to incorporate prickly pear and other native plants into their systems.
