Pueblo Independence Day at Jemez Historic Site

Sunday August 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

After a two-year hiatus in which New Mexico Historic Sites’ events transitioned to a virtual platform, Jemez Historic Site is delighted to announce the return of in-person events at the site!

Pueblo Independence Day event commemorates the 1680 revolt when the Pueblo people of New Mexico launched a successful rebellion against Spanish colonization with the help of Apache and Navajo allies. This successful revolt saw the retreat of the Spanish to modern-day El Paso, Texas and lasted twelve years until colonization efforts by the Spanish resumed. Today Pueblo Independence Day is celebrated to recognize Pueblo people’s cultural traditions, lands, languages, religions, and sovereignty.

Independence Day starts with a 13 mile foot race from the pueblo to the historic site. Eight dances will be held throughout the day and 30 art and craft vendors will be there for visitors to enjoy.

Parking: Across the street from the Historic Site - carpooling is recommended

Cost: FREE

Food/Water: One food vendor, so bring water/snacks as needed.
