Old Timers' Festival
Held every year for over 30 years, the Old Timers' Festival has become an increasingly popular event in the high country. There are plenty of fun things to see and do for the whole family, including a parade, mini-cattle drive, rodeos, fiddlers contest, Spanish Village, Indian Village, Cowboy Village, western dance and song, and lots of good food.
The Magdalena Old Timers' Reunion
For more information, call Jeanie Johnston at the Village Office, 575-854-2261.
Hunting Season
Hunters from all over the country converge on Magdalena during September, October and November to take on the challenge of some of the best hunting in the United States – primarily elk, pronghorn and deer. The New Mexico Department of Fish and Game carefully manages the distribution of hunting tags and licenses to best maintain healthy populations of wild game. Its web site contains all the information you need to begin your hunt.
