Welcome the season at Ruidoso’s annual AspenFest Festival, an autumn celebration filled with delicious drinks, gourmet foods, and exclusive crafts.

With a “Ruidoso as a Triple Crown Community” theme, you will get a feel for the caring community surrounding Ruidoso through amusing floats and engaging entertainers. The parade begins at the top of Sudderth and Mechem and stops in front of the Ruidoso Valley Chamber of Commerce.
Once the parade ends, head to Wingfield Park to immerse yourself in activities from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Delight your ears with live, local music featuring the skill and heart of Ruidoso’s finest performers. Fill your belly with local cuisine and wash it down with wine, craft beer, or spirits. Numerous crafters and artists spread out their wares in Wingfield Park, showing off their artisanship. The variety of vendors will give guests many specialty items to see and purchase, including gourmet chocolates and handmade crafts.
