Many visitors would like to attend one of the pueblo feast days in New Mexico. Visitors can expect to see beautiful regalia and watch friends meeting and greeting. It’s a good time to try some Native American foods. Attending a feast day at one of the 19 pueblos is a very special experience. Before you go, please read the entire “visiting a pueblo” page published by the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center so you know if the feast day is open to the public, the rules on taking photographs, and what you may and may not do.
