Celebrate the Fourth in Socorro: Entertainment, Food, Fun And No Crowds!

Tired of the crowds, the search for parking, and high concession prices? Wouldnt you like to listen and dance to New Mexicos favorite music for free?

Heres a sizzling tip: Ditch the Big City for the small town of Socorro and enjoy Independence Day as it was meant to be celebrated with music, entertainment, food, fun, and fireworks in a friendly community setting. New this year is a parade to open the day, starting at 10 a.m. at the Historic Plaza, going down California, up Bullock, and ending at the music venue, Macey Center.

New Mexico Tech and City of Socorro have just the ticket: a 26th annual Fourth of July celebration on the grassy grounds of the campus north of Macey Center thats free to all and so is parking.

Indeed, food, beverage and other vendors moved several seasons ago to a larger area able to accommodate a bigger tent and more booths. Kalish and company also have tried to give the fans what they want, and that means lots of family options, such as Wise Fool, an interactive circus and puppetry group; water slides and balloon jump for the kiddies; traditional barbecue; and a lineup of first-rate entertainment, all back by popular demand.
