March 19 and September 19
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.
