The Festival provides Bernalillo County an avenue to offer a destination event showing the world what New Mexicans have known all along—chile is a culture and a way of life. Through the Festival we strive to increase visitation at the NHCC and to further the Center’s mission of preserving, promoting, and advancing Hispanic culture, arts, and humanities through the disciplines of performing arts, visual arts, literary arts and history. This event is presented by Bernalillo County and the National Hispanic Cultural Center.
