Good morning, Las Cruces.

¡Mira! Las Cruces is hosting its fourth lucha libre show today, where veteran wrestlers Magno and Rey Escorpion energize a free, family-friendly event featuring culture, food and music — drawing local residents and visitors together.

The celebration highlights the enduring local passion for dynamic community entertainment.

Filming for the action film ‘Barracuda’ began in Las Cruces in early April and will continue into the summer—scenes shot near the international airport and border crossings led to road closures.
