Koshare Summer Performances
Weekends June and July
See the Koshares perform on scheduled evenings through June and July. Through June and July, performances are typically held on the weekends. However, there may be weekday shows scheduled.
Start with Dinner at Mexico City
It’s been said that La Junta hand-down has some of the best Mexican food in the country.
Head to 1617 Raton Avenue, just a few blocks from the Koshare Museum, to satisfy your cravings for one of La Junta’s favorite locally owned Mexican Food restaurants.
Among the residential neighborhood, Mexico City Cafe is a hidden gem that is a must-stop place to eat in La Junta.
Arrive One Hour Prior to Performance and See the Museum
If this is your first time to the museum, you are in for a treat. This is a museum unlike any other museum found in your typical small town.
The museum is home to the world’s largest self-supported log ceiling, but there is more to museum than just its architecture. Visitors are often blown away by the Native American and Western collection within the museum.
The collection features original art from the founding artists of the Taos and Santa Fe Art Colonies. Native American artifacts from the people of the Southwest, the Plains, and Anasazi. The museum contains large collections from Enesto Zepeda, Joseph Imhof, and Velino Herrera.
With the purchase of a show ticket, your admission to the museum is included.
See the Performance
Throughout the night, dancers delight kids and adults of all ages with an hour and a half of interpretive Native American dances. Through the performance enjoy music, stories, and historic context relating to each dance.
