Places to Stay

Get Away

El Monte Sagrado means “The Holy Mountain.” The word “Sagrado” also means “sanctuary.” Indeed, a stay at El Monte Sagrado Living Resort and Spa offers a luxurious and lush retreat from a hectic world.

El Pueblo Lodge

The El Pueblo Lodge offers a charming campus-style setting with lodging interspersed among several buildings spread over three acres in historic district of Taos.

The Taos Inn

Located in four buildings, the Historic Taos Inn’s collection of 44 guest rooms exudes authentic Southwestern style. Each is individually decorated, making every room a unique expression of the Inn’s history and the region’s renowned architectural style.

Sagebrush Inn

The Inn’s scenic grounds offer graceful portals, patios, and traditional brick walkways. The connecting courtyards are ideal for gathering, all with spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Food

The sunny day and dancing usually make everyone a bit thirsty and peckish. There will always be a bite ready from the food vendors. Grab a drink at the beer garden.

Pride Parade

On Saturday, August 12th the lineup of floats starts at 10 AM at the County Court parking lot on Albright.

The parade begins at 11 AM and will arrive at Kit Carson Park at 11:45. Pride in the Park begins at Noon.

This will be the fourth year we parade through town. It is a small town affair. Look for a stream of old trucks, hot cars and a ton of colorful people walking the parade route from the County Courthouse to Kit Carson Park. If you want to participate, show up in the courthouse parking lot on Saturday and pitch in with the decoration. If you would rather watch, line the side of the street and cheer between 11 and 11:30.

Who We Are

What We Strive For

Taos Pride was launched 7 years ago by Robert Quintana because he wanted to throw Taos a great big and fabulous party. It is his vision and joy that lives on through the organization and annual events.

We strive to maintain the goals of creating an open space for celebration, respect, sharing, play and remembrance. We want to invite you to join us.
