Mountain Chile Cha Cha
There are few better ways to spend an autumn day than attending the Mountain Chile Cha Cha, a celebration of Pagosa Country’s Hispanic heritage.
This event takes place in the Town Park Athletic Field and offers a great opportunity to enjoy trail races, food, music and fun.
After the races, the fun continues with the Patty Aragon Green Chile Classic, which includes a green chile cook-off and tasting, as well as a popular margarita contest. Attendees can sample dozens of homemade green chiles, many of which are made using recipes passed down through generations. The event also features a Mexican beer garden, a kid’s corner, food trucks and green chile roasting.
In the afternoon, you can enjoy a live Mexican dance concert.
This event is a culinary and cultural treat for locals and visitors alike, and it spotlights the love of green chile, which is an integral part of Pagosa Country’s Hispanic heritage.
