Good morning, Las Cruces.

From Friday November 28 through Thursday December 4, Las Cruces is hosting a busy lineup of community events including the free One Huge Fiesta downtown featuring games, animal displays, first responders, Santa and live music—along with Farmers & Crafts Markets, NMSU Aggies football, and performances of A Christmas Carol and a free Philharmonic concert. Other events include fundraisers, educational presentations on WWII subjects, and various meetings scheduled at local venues throughout the week.

Chef Armando Murillo (executive chef at the Las Cruces Convention Center) was born in Las Cruces and uses creative freedom to lead themed dinners that bring locals together while he shares his passion for cooking.

His events grow with each dinner as he blends familiar flavors with new ideas to create a unique dining experience.
