This Week in Red River: Halloween Carnival Saturday, Sunny Days, and Snow on the Horizon
Monday, October 26, 2026
Welcome to a classic late-October week in Red River. The balloons have drifted home after last weekend's Taos Mountain Balloon Rally and Rio Grande Sky Fiesta, the last of the aspen gold is hanging on in the sheltered side canyons, and town settles into its friendly in-between rhythm: sunny, quiet weekdays, a Halloween celebration for the kids on Saturday, and the first real taste of winter weather arriving just as the clocks fall back on Sunday.
Red River Weekend Preview: A Wet, Cool Weekend with Balloons Over Taos
Friday, October 23, 2026
Friday is starting cool and damp in Red River, with a partly cloudy morning near 42 degrees, no weather alerts in effect, and afternoon showers on the way to a high near 57. Rain is likely tonight, with a low near 38, so pack the waterproof layers if you are arriving today and plan on a cozy Main Street evening. Sunset comes at 6:14 PM, and the late-season color still hanging on in the canyon should look rich in the wet light between showers.
This Week in Red River: Fall Color, Midweek Rain, and Balloons on the Horizon
Monday, October 19, 2026
Welcome to a quieter, golden week in Red River. Monday starts clear and cold, around 33 degrees early, then mostly sunny with a high near 60, a fine day for a Main Street stroll, a last look at fall color in the canyon, and an unhurried drive around the Enchanted Circle. After the bustle of Oktoberfest, town settles into the slower rhythm locals love in late October, with shops and restaurants open for visitors who prefer elbow room on the sidewalks and trails.
