A visit to the Tesoro Cultural Center’s annual Rendezvous at the Fort on Saturday & Sunday, September 21 & 22, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (both days) takes us from the 21st century back to the frontier days. Meet celebrated Southwestern artists selling and demonstrating their crafts. Interpreters in period dress re-enact and explain the lives of 19th century trappers, traders and frontiersmen.
A day at the Rendezvous is a day in the Old West, offering engaging and immersive fun for the whole family.
Historic interpreters will show guests day-to-day skills from the 1830s, such as horse and mule packing, fire-starting, beadwork, sign language, blacksmithing, moccasin-making, arrow-making, wool processing and more.
Authentic Spanish Colonial artists demonstrate and sell their creations, including retablos, santos, jewelry, wheat applique, metalwork, weaving, and furniture.
Additional activities include a Scavenger Hunt, lectures, raptors, mammals, and reptiles provided by Nature’s Educators, storytelling by Angel Vigil and Komi Casica, music of the period by Rex Rideout, Spanish Colonial Art crafted using traditional methods and American Indian powwow song and dance demonstrations.
Concessions will be provided onsite by The Fort Restaurant.
