May 22-24, 2026

Festival Sefardí is New Mexico’s only annual celebration of the unique history and culture of the Sefardic Jews in the Southwest. This May, we celebrate our 17th year and are excited about the program taking form!

Expect great music, movement, poetry, art, workshops, delicious food, and talks by scholars, diving into the complex intercultural dynamics that continue to weave the fabric of New Mexico’s cultural tapestry.

About Casa Sefarad:

Casa Sefarad is dedicated to programming that reflects the experiences of Sephardic/Mizrahi Jews, particularly the Sefardic Jews of New Mexico. Casa Sefarad works to reclaim, sustain, and build Sefardic culture in New Mexico. Towards these ends we host monthly Shabbat ceremonies, poetry readings, and are launching El centro de estudios sefarditas, The Sefardic Learning Center at Nahalat Shalom.
