History unfolds under a sun-filled blue sky. Save the date for the 22nd annual Spanish Fiesta in Pagosa Springs, CO, at the Archuleta County Fairgrounds scheduled for Saturday July, 27, 2024. Archuleta Seniors Inc.'s Spanish Fiesta community committee has been working hard to secure a venue and is delighted to report that we will remain in the same location as last year’s event thanks to the Archuleta County Fair Board’s generous support and advocacy. While the committee is still deliberating on entertainment and schedule of activities, we are excited to bring together again family, friends and neighbors to gather while remembering traditions of the past and embracing the present. Returning to tradition doesn’t mean returning to the past. It means reconnecting to the wisdom of our ancestors and bringing it forward with us. May the rhythm of the music move the people to dance and may the shadows reflect the spirit of our loved ones dancing beside us. This year’s fiesta celebrates “la cultura cura”, a transformative health and healing philosophy that recognizes the importance of cultural values, traditions and indigenous practices on the path to healthy development, restoration, and lifelong well-being. The 22nd Annual Spanish Fiesta is an event the whole family can enjoy. Celebrate Archuleta County Hispanic/Latino heritage and culture with vendors (artisan and food), dancing and music by local favorites as well as legendary artists. In the spirit of past fiestas and new this year is a youth Spanish Fiesta Royalty Competition and benefit dance featuring Los Mitotitos to be held April 13, 2024. Applications are open and being accepted from youth in grades 1st through 12th to compete for the role of King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Jr Prince and Jr Princess. The royalty experience will provide youth service learning and leadership opportunities. Come help represent and promote the 22nd Annual Spanish Fiesta in Archuleta County.
