It’s time… Ruidoso is ready to welcome visitors again!
After the devastating South Fork and Salt Fires, it’s taken a few weeks to get some normalcy back, but we’re happy to report the village is on the mend. Our retailers, restaurants, and local businesses are excited to invite visitors back. There’s never been a better or more crucial time to shop local and spend your dollars in the area. Our local businesses depend on tourism to thrive, so help us keep Ruidoso alive by returning and continuing to love our mountain village!
We are tracking events in and around the village on our calendar. Find all the information you need in one place! Please contact the event organizer if you need further details or confirmation.
Please note that Alto Lake is closed indefinitely, but Grindstone Lake is open and most activities and attractions around the village are available and operational as well. Visit Ruidoso Parks and Rec for more details.
