Rocky Point Holiday Rundown

Lace up your shoes and loosen your belt, the Lupe-Reyes marathon is upon us. The period from Dec. 12th (Día de la Virgen de Guadalupe  “Lupe”) through January 6th (Día de los Tres Reyes Magos – Three Kings “Reyes), is marked with festive fiestas, tamales, ponche, posole, and posadas.  This year, the City has teamed up with local media source Cuéntanos Peñasco for a Holiday Light Parade at sea on DEC 19TH (NEW DATE), so we hope the tides and wind allow for this new shimmering launch of what we hope will become an annual tradition.
