4^TH OF JULY CELEBRATION – FIRST OF IT’S KIND IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO LIVE DRONE SHOW
Angel Fire will be the first in northern New Mexico to offer a different Fourth of July tradition with a Drone Light Show. Drone light shows are performed by illuminated, synchronized, and choreographed groups of drones that arrange themselves into various aerial formations.

“The live drone shows are growing in popularity in drier climates. What once were Fourth of July fireworks displays are now being replaced by large swarms of small drones with colored lights,” Ralph explains. “It reduces wildfire risk, pollution, and loud noises. We’re excited to add it to our list of activities for the holiday.”

Angel Fire will also offer a Fourth of July Parade and a Pancake Breakfast along with the evening Drone Light Show.

ZIPLINING  
Opening May 26 (weather permitting) is one of the state’s highest-altitude, adrenaline-inducing outdoor adventures. Angel Fire Resort’s Zipline Adventure Tour takes small groups of thrill-seekers through 4 different ziplines at the second-highest elevation zipline tour in the United States.

HIGH ALTITUDE GOLF
At 8,600′ elevation, Angel Fire Resort’s high-altitude, 18-hole golf course is regarded as one of the most stunning in the west. The course is tucked beneath the imposing Sangre de Cristo Mountains and offers sweeping views of Wheeler Peak and plenty of wildlife. The golf course opens on May 19.

LIVE OUTDOOR CONCERTS
Bring a lawn chair, some friends, and your dancing shoes! Cool Summer Nights Concert Series will offer free live music every Friday night in Frontier Park, so you can kick off the weekend right. Concerts run from June 16 through August 25. Check the Angel Fire Resort Event Calendar on the website for a full schedule lineup. Angel Fire Resort Events Calendar

STARGAZING TOURS
There are countless reasons why New Mexico is known as the Land of Enchantment. Home to some of the darkest night skies in the country, New Mexico offers some of the highest quality stargazing you’ll find anywhere in the world. Angel Fire Resort’s high altitude, low population density, dry climate, and clean air help to ensure that our night skies stay remarkably dark year-round. Learn about the stars, constellations, and planets on nightly display by taking in one of our guided Stargazing Tours.
