Celebrate "With Heroes, Hope Floats" in Ruidoso with a weekend of cool cars, hot chili, great crafts and a festive parade!

AspenFest, Ruidoso’s annual fall celebration, the first weekend in October, allows residents and visitors alike to participate in the celebration of our caring community, the cool crispness of the coming fall and the beauty that is Ruidoso. AspenFest weekend is kicked off every year with a parade at 10 a.m. through Midtown Ruidoso.
“Everybody loves a parade and mixing with chile, cars and crafts is a homerun. The fall is a time for tradition and friends and our mountain is the perfect spot.”
