Las Cruces Events September 05th Issue

Good Morning {{First Name|Las Cruces}}

Welcome some cooler temps and some wet stuff falling from the sky this weekend. Such a nice transition to Fall 😀 which is absolutely my favorite time of year in Las Cruces.

💐 Hey, if you are a flower lover you will certainly want to catch the MVIS Annual Iris Rhizome Sale at the Mesilla Valley Mall on Sat & Sun. I hear that you need to get there early on Saturday for the best selection as they sell out fast.

🌕 There is a really cool Full Moon Night at White Sands National Park this Sunday and it features an special performance by Native American flute player Randy Granger. This should be an outstanding event. Let’s hope the weather cooperates.

✅ Check the new listing below in the Coming Soon and Performing Arts sections.

🌮 In the Spotlight section below check out what Leo Sanchez is doing and the new restaurant grand opening at NMSU.

🌶 NMSU is having a 4 part “Preserving Red Chile Workshop” starting on September 9th. It’s an online Zoom class so anyone who registers can attend. More Info
