4th of July Happenings
Durango's annual "Salute to America"

A new addition to the line-up this year is the New Mexico National Guard's 44thArmy Band. Friday, June 29. The 46-musician band will perform a free concert of patriotic music at the Rotary Park gazebo from 5:30 to 7:00pm. The show will open with a presentation of the colors by the VFW Color Guard, backed by brass and drums. Parking is limited.

The July 4 holiday festivities begin with the Freedom Fun Run/Walk, presented by Durango Parks and Recreation, at 9am sharp at RotaryPark. No entry fee is required, and all levels of runners and walkers are invited to join in the fun for prizes and surprises.

Grillin' & Chillin'...
Summer is a great time to entertain outdoors.  When you plan your next BBQ, grill up locally-grown, organic meats and veggies.
When purchasing your foods - consider using the concept from the 100-Mile Diet by puchasing and consuming foods that were grown or produced within a 100 mile radius. Three good reasons:
  • Eating local means more for the local economy.
  • Locally grown produce is fresher. 
  • Local food just plain tastes better. 

What to wash down all of the local and organic fare?  How about a well made, fresh, locally crafted beer?  Durango is home to award-winning microbreweries and is self-proclaimed 'The City of Brewerly Love'...  See Durango microbreweries
