Annual Lighting of Ledoux this Saturday, the 12th

If you don't know Taos well, the title is somewhat meaningless. Let me entice you into a weekend in Taos!

The Ledoux Street Association has been an informal group of businesses, galleries, museums, and residents of Ledoux Street. For the last 10 years, they've made a point of planning, organizing, and paying for food and entertainment on one Saturday in early December during which they'll all light their luminarios. The result is a couple of block long awesomely lit (faralito, not brown bottle) party for both locals and visitors.

For 2009, This Saturday, December 12, 2009 is the day for the festive activity. Skiers are welcome as the beauty glows after sunset (apres ski).

Ledoux Street is just a couple blocks towards hisotric Taos Plaza from Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza. Turn left, West, on Placitas (the first light), veer left onto Ledoux and enjoy yourself to the fullest.
