There probably won’t be any snow in this place renowned for its natural hot springs, but Truth or Consequences is ready for the holidays.

The town’s 15th annual Old-fashioned Christmas event will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, December 8. Main Street and Broadway will be closed from 5 p.m. to allow for setup of the event, and several area stores and galleries will be open as part of the festivities.

Truth or Consequences will light its Christmas Tree around 6 p.m. at Evelyn Renfro Park, and there will be a Parade of Lights after that. Families can get a picture taken with Santa Claus starting at 7:30 p.m. at Healing Waters Plaza.

On Saturday, December 9, revelers can visit Elephant Butte Lake Sate Park from

5 to 8 p.m. for the 28th annual Holiday

Luminaria Beachwalk.

Twenty-five bonfires and 3,000 luminarias will be set up, and hot cider, hot chocolate, chile, posole, and green chile stew will be available. — S.F.
