Holiday wild 2026
It’s that time of year again, the time we come together to celebrate the rich wildlife, culture, and community that make New Mexico such a beautiful and unique place, all with a little holiday twist!
Join Wildlife Rescue Inc. of New Mexico on Sunday, December 6th from 10 AM–3 PM at the Rio Grande Nature Center State Park, 2901 Candelaria Rd NW, for Holiday Wild 2026!
This year, we’re expanding Holiday Wild into an even bigger community outreach event, bringing together wildlife organizations, conservation groups, local businesses, artists, educators, and members of our community for a day of learning, activities, fundraising, and fun.
We’re excited to already have some amazing guests joining us, including @thesemillaproject, @skyline.superhero, @fbcalbuquerquesantafe, @nmwilderness, and many more organizations and special guests still to be announced!
Throughout the day, you can look forward to wildlife education and animal ambassadors, interactive activities and educational tables, local conservation and community organizations, a silent auction and raffle, a holiday bake sale, Wildlife Rescue merchandise, local art and New Mexico culture, activities for the whole family, and plenty more to come!
Holiday Wild is not only a fundraiser for Wildlife Rescue, it’s also a chance to celebrate the incredible community that helps make wildlife conservation possible throughout New Mexico.
Mark your calendars, bring your family and friends, and come celebrate New Mexico’s wildlife, culture, and community with us! �
More guest announcements and event details coming soon!
