Plaza De Las Cruces — Attraction in Las Cruces

There is plenty to do here. Spent most of the summer with my kids here and now I dance on Thursday and Sunday night's here.

This plaza is next to the Farmer's and Craft's market. We recently saw groups of students demonstrating their impressive robotic skills. And, this is the time of year to enjoy the plaza's Christmas tree and walk around to check out all the vendor's crafts.
