Here are a few clothing recommendations when visiting Taos Pueblo.
Keep in mind we are somewhat located off the beaten path, comfortable shoes are a must. Whether you choose to wear; sneakers, hiking boots, flats or sandals, the visit is a walking tour and we want you to be comfortable. Taos Pueblo does enjoy all four seasons. A light jacket and dressing in layers is always a good choice, we do live in a high desert climate and the weather can sometimes be unpredictable.

On Sept. 29 and 30, Taos Pueblo will celebrate the Pueblo’s patron saint, St. Jerome (San Geronimo), with our “San Geronimo Eve Vespers” and “San Geronimo Day.”
Taos Pueblo’s San Geronimo Feast Day festivities being on Sept. 29 with a sundown dance, followed by Vespers in San Geronimo church. On feast day, there are foot races and the traditional pole climb. Since the event traditionally celebrates harvest, there will be a trade fair with crafts and food for sale.
A typical feast day includes “eating, visiting with family, friends and enjoying the traditional dances that are allowed to public spectators. Feast days are an integral part of the Pueblo culture.”
“All events listed below are religious ceremonies. We ask that you offer the same respect you would in your church at home. No photography is allowed. But you won’t need pictures to remember your Pueblo visit. It will remain in your heart and soul forever.”
