All Things Pueblo

Pueblo Chile & Frijole’s Festival is just around the corner September 23-25, 2016.  I’m not sure if I’m more excited about the smell of roasted Pueblo Green Chile or all the events!  The event features local musicians‚ children activities, crafts, arts‚ cooking competitions and chilies‚ chilies‚ chilies.   With an annual attendance hitting 100,000, the festival found itself in the national spotlight a couple of years ago when it was featured on Livability Top 10 Food Festivals and was #2 on the list.
