Community Calendar

In commemorating 250 years of America’s independence, please join us as the Bureau of Land Management New Mexico hosts the “Organ Mountains Jubilee” on October 24, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Dripping Springs Natural Area of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument.

There will be a variety of events for all ages. The event will include guided hikes in the first-person actor persona. Come listen to Mr. Van Patton himself as he talks about the history of the Drippings Springs Natural Area. More than 25 outdoor recreational partners will be on hand to provide information about how you can enjoy your public lands. There will also be a ‘Kids Fun Zone’ as well as food truck vendors on site. Country Music Artist Chuck Wimer and his band will take the stage along with local Las Cruces heritage rock band, Flat Blak. For more information, reach out to the BLM Las Cruces District Office at 575-525-4300. See the website for tickets and parking.

Celebrated as one of the most charismatic and innovative classical performers of his generation, Cuban-American cellist Dr. Tommy Mesa brings technical brilliance and emotional depth to the stage. A recipient of Lincoln Center’s 2025 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the Sphinx Organization’s 2023 Medal of Excellence, Mesa has appeared with leading orchestras and premiered major new works for cello while expanding the instrument’s voice for today’s audiences.

The Really Really Free Market takes place every first Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1701 Missouri Avenue in Las Cruces. It’s a community gathering built on solidarity, not charity — where everything is free. Bring what you can, take what you need, or just come hang out. There’s no buying, selling, or trading — just neighbors supporting neighbors. Along with free clothes, furniture, books, toys, and supplies, we also offer free bike repairs and so much more! For more information or to volunteer, email lascrucesrrfm@proton.me or call (575)528-8671. That’s the Really Really Free Market, because we have everything we need when we take care of each other.

The Las Cruces Really Really Free Market is back, hosted by a group of local volunteers who believe in mutual aid, community care, and resource sharing.

This isn’t a sale or a swap — it’s a free community event where anyone can give or take items like clothes, books, household goods, toys, and more. There’s no money, no bartering — just people helping each other out.

Join us the first Saturday of every month from 10am - 2pm at 1701 Missouri Ave (Peace Lutheran Church).

We do this because we believe our community already has enough — enough resources, enough support — if we just find ways to share it.

If you’d like to get involved, donate, or have questions, email us at lascrucesrrfm@proton.me
