Fiestas de Taos 2011 Historical Parade Application

Sunday, July 24, 2011

The Taos Fiesta Council, Inc. and the Taos Kiwanis Club invite you to participate in our annual Taos Fiesta Historical Parade. This year’s parade will be held on Sunday, July 24, 2011 beginning promptly at 1:00 PM from the Taos County Courthouse. Registration and judging will take place at Taos High School and the line up will take place on Albright Street entering only, off of Gusdorf. The parade route will head north on SR68 (Paseo del Pueblo Norte) and terminate at the US Post Office across from the Kachina Lodge.

Our annual Fiesta celebrations, which date back to the early 1600’s, are in commemoration of Santiago and Santa Ana, who in the Catholic tradition are the patron saints of Taos. The theme for 2011 is: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow; Ayer, Hoy y Mañana. Taos’ greatest charm lies in its people that, through various cultures, have helped in creating a melting pot of humanity here in the Southwest.

We appreciate the participation and support of fellow Taoseños and neighbors from surrounding communities. We sincerely thank you for your consideration and look forward to your participation and patronage of the Fiestas de Taos; ¡Que Vivan Las Fiestas!

Cariñosamente, Taos Fiesta Council, Inc. and Taos Kiwanis Club
