Building on the amazing success of our introductory 2011 summer festivals, this year’s second-annual Enchanted Circle Festival Arts & Entertainment summer season will be even better!
For the 2012 summer festival, we anticipate offering a variety of arts and entertainment festival activities, workshops and events throughout Taos Ski Valley including an expansion of the intimate festival weekends in Kachina and some exciting new festival events in Taos Ski Valley’s base village area. As our next summer season’s festival planning unfolds, stay tuned to this website for updates and opportunities to get involved with interactive event planning.
Lower Village Stage Construction Completed!
For the 2011 Enchanted Circle Summer Festival, festival grounds planning, outdoor stage design and stage construction management in Kachina were provided by the Enchanted Circle Festival’s General Manager, John Halley of Comet Studios, www.cometstudios.com . The success of last year’s project was made possible by local businesses and volunteers who graciously provided all the necessary materials and labor required to build the stage and related festival grounds.
Building on last years success, our community has built a second stage this summer for larger festival events located in the Core Village near the base of Lift 1. This year’s project was designed and built by John Halley with materials, equipment and construction crew provided by TSV Inc, the Village of Taos Ski Valley and local community volunteers.
