The Taos Year
Taos Pueblo feast days, the summer fiestas and the winter lightings — in the order they come around, with the Pueblo's visiting rules.
The valley keeps a full year — Taos Pueblo feast days, the summer fiestas on the Plaza, the autumn fiber market, the winter lightings. The dates below are gathered from the Pueblo, the fiesta organizers, taos.org and the County Chamber into one place, in the order they come around. Taos Pueblo feast days are open to the public, but every one of them prohibits photography, video and any recording — phones, cameras and drones included — and the Pueblo also closes to visitors entirely for about ten weeks in late winter and early spring. When in doubt, taospueblo.com and the host's own page are the authority.
