Las Cruces Events Dec 27th - Dec 31st

Hello Las Cruces!

We're experiencing that classic Las Cruces winter: fall by day, winter by night. It's like Mother Nature can't decide if she wants a pumpkin spice latte or hot cocoa!

Well 2024 is quickly coming to a close and I hope you enjoyed your Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year.

Thanks for joining us on this journey.

Survey Highlights

Our recent welcome survey shared some common values and things that we love about living in Las Cruces. Here are some of the highlights:

“Las Cruces residents across all age groups consistently value three primary aspects of living in the city: the ideal weather conditions, the welcoming community atmosphere, and the perfect balance of amenities.

The weather, particularly the abundant sunshine and mild climate, stands out as a universal attraction. The friendly, kind-hearted people and strong sense of community are repeatedly emphasized as crucial elements that make the city special.

Residents appreciate how Las Cruces maintains a sweet spot between small-town charm and urban convenience - offering enough activities and amenities while avoiding big-city problems.”

Community seems to be the most common theme! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for being a part of this community 😃 

Local Musician Interview
