We’re proud to share this issue’s sponsor: Madelyn’s in Mesilla

Cinco de Mayo weekend is almost here, and the Mesilla Plaza will be alive with a fiesta all weekend long!

🎉 Come celebrate with us at Madelyn’s, where we’ll have live music all weekend to keep the energy going strong. Be sure to check out our full May music lineup—we’re excited to welcome many new bands who will be playing with us for the very first time!

At Madelyn’s, we love supporting live music and are always looking for fresh talent. If you’re a band that hasn’t played with us yet, we’d love to hear from you—give us a call!
