Heart of Corrales Fiesta

Heart of Corrales Fiesta

Harvest Time around the world is a time of joy, thanks and celebration. Here in Corrales, a historic agricultural New Mexican village on the Rio Grande, that means a Fiesta!

The village-wide Corrales Harvest Festival will be held Sept. 30 & Oct. 1, 2017. As part of the celebration, the Historic Old San Ysidro Church will hold the “Heart of Corrales Fiesta.” We are located at 966 Old Church Road – the last stop (and one of the most fun) on the hayride.

Many CHS activities are happening inside and outside the Old Church this year.

All ages are welcome at our Crafts Table where you’ll find coloring pages and materials for making Ojos de Dios, paper flowers, red chili ornaments, and Mr. & Mrs. Zucchini Heads. Take your project home to be put in a place of honor.

 

Walk the Walk at the “Pie Walk” – new to the Heart of Corrales Fiesta this year. Win pies and other treats made from harvest favorites… apples, blueberries, peaches, pumpkin, zucchini and more. It’s just $1 to walk the numbered Pie Walk. When the music stops, a number gets called – if it’s the number you’re standing on, you win the prize! All proceeds go to the preservation of the Old Church.

 

Enter theCreate San Ysidro” Contest. For local kids! Draw San Ysidro or create him in 2D or 3D. The more creative the better! Make your work of art at the Old Church, or at home, and bring it in on Saturday morning. Entries will be displayed in the Old Church so all Fiesta visitors can view the artwork… and vote for the People's Choice award winner. CHS Archives will host a “Small Ag Tool ID Contest” for kids. See how many you can identify! There will also be agricultural posters and family posters to peruse. 

Photo Ops Abound! The Old Church is considered one of the most authentic and well-maintained adobe churches in New Mexico. It’s a beautiful backdrop for a favorite photo memory. Take a snap in a “farmer portrait” stand. Or climb onboard a classic tractor – bring a kerchief or borrow one of ours.

You won’t go home hungry! Sample fresh and delicious fruits and vegetables at the Tastes of the Harvest Table, and think about how much we all owe our farmers and growers. Curtis Losack Farms will be selling treats to eat and take home. Grab a snack at a food truck. And wet your whistle with bottled water supplied by a local Boy Scouts troop.

CHS Fine Arts Show Preview: Juried artworks that will be at CHS’ 29th Annual Fine Arts Show & Sale will be on display to pique your interest. The show takes place inside the Old Church during Balloon Fiesta.

 

CHS docents will be selling T-shirts, Gifts and Souvenirs. Pick up a little something to remember the day. All proceeds go to the preservation of the Old Church.

Next, head across the street to Casa San Ysidro where you’ll find New Mexican artisans and vendors, music, blacksmithing, horno baking, and more.

Ride the hay wagons to the end of the line and come see us!
