Viva La Cultura - Montezuma Ball
Event Type(s):
Community Event
Description:
Montezuma Ball is over 100 years old, with the first event held in 1902 as part of the New Mexico Territorial Fair, otherwise known as the New Mexico State Fair. This tradition continued until the last historic Ball was held at the Alvarado Hotel in Albuquerque in 1968. In 2000, Heritage Hotels and Resorts restored this New Mexico
tradition as part of the inauguration of its new Alvarado Ballroom at Hotel Albuquerque. In the 19 years since, Montezuma Ball has raised millions of dollars for deserving nonprofits across New Mexico and continues to support organizations working to preserve and celebrate New Mexican culture and traditions. Montezuma Ball 2019 benefits Dual Language Education of New Mexico and Junior Achievement of New Mexico.
Be a part of this historic fundraising event and support New Mexico’s history, heritage, and traditions as you partner with Dual Language Education of New Mexico, Junior Achievement of New Mexico, and Heritage Resorts for Montezuma Ball 2019!
