The San Jose Day Festival at Laguna Pueblo, about 45 miles west of Albuquerque, New
Mexico, used to take place only on St. Joseph's Day, March 19. But today it is also
celebrated on September 19, when freshly harvested crops can be sold and festivities
enjoyed in the summer weather.

The fiesta's events reflect both traditional Laguna events and the Roman Catholic
influence common to the pueblos. There are Catholic masses and processions honoring
St. Joseph as well as traditional Laguna dancing. Attendees, including other native
peoples, can also enjoy a carnival with rides, numerous food stands, and sporting
events. One of the largest draws is the annual All-Indian Baseball Tournament in
September; Laguna boasts five semi-pro baseball teams.
