Dating back decades, the Taos’ annual Fiesta celebrations once again brought energy and vibrant color to downtown Taos. In addition to bringing the community together, the long-standing tradition is held to commemorate and honor Santiago (St. James) and Santa Ana (St. Anne), the two patron saints of Taos according to Catholic tradition. The theme for this year’s celebration was “United Cultures in Our Community.” The festivities included three jam-packed days of traditional music and fellowship, food, arts and crafts vendors and parades.
