Hey Las Cruces,

This is ❤️ Live Love Las Cruces, the newsletter equivalent of that friend who always knows the best food trucks in town.

💦 We strive to find those interesting local events and happening that you may have a hard time finding or maybe just missed.

👉️ This Friday’s focus is on Art with 8 events happening in Downtown Las Cruces including Horse Drawn Carriage Rides to the Mesquite Historic District. Check out the Events Section for Friday

🚀 The Las Cruces Space Festival starts this week on the 6th and runs through September 14th.

I came across this article about White Sands and thought it was interesting.. just wanted to share. 😀 


White Sands & The Local Economy Benefits

In 2023, White Sands National Park attracted nearly 730,000 visitors, who spent $44.5 million in the Las Cruces area.

This spending supported 595 local jobs and contributed $53.4 million to the regional economy.

This influx of visitors boosted the local tourism sector, particularly benefiting lodging and dining businesses, and underscores the park's role as a key driver of economic growth in the region. Read more
