Feast Days and Dances in New Mexico Pueblos
Feast Days and Dances in New Mexico Pueblos
All of the pueblos (excluding Zuni) hold feast days, an annual celebration in which the pueblo's patron saint is honored. Many pueblos have succeeded in reconciling their historic religious practices with the dominant Christian (particularly Catholic) practice, and celebrations are open to the general public, with many festivities and food. Dates for feast days are covered above under the individual pueblos.
There are also numerous dances at each of the pueblos throughout the year. Most pueblos will have dances for January 6th (All King's Day), Easter Sunday, and Christmas (some on Christmas Eve, others on Christmas Day). For a complete list of dances, see .
In addition to pueblo dances, New Mexico also plays host to the Gathering of Nations Pow-Wow , held every April in Albuquerque, and the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial , held every August in Gallup. Both these events draw Native American dancers and artists from across the country, but you're sure to see people from the pueblos as well.
