As earth moves through the dust and debris trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle between August 10-12 the summer night sky’s most spectacular show is the Perseid meteor shower. Magdalena is one of the ‘blackest’ places in the USA, with minimal light pollution, and cloud-free skies, affording a spectacular view of this phenomenon.

Isleta Pueblo San Augustine Feast Day. September 4th, 2018.
Native American feast days allow tribal members to come together in celebration of their language, culture and religion. The communities celebrating feast days are open to the public, and members of the tribe will prepare a variety of bountiful meals to share with guests.
Visitors are often fascinated to see that pueblo life is a window into another world. Not relegated to history books or museums, this is a living culture that carries on the centuries-old traditions of ancestors. Information: 505-869-3111
