The Weekender // Dec. 20th - 22nd

Happy Winter, Durangotangs! The first day of winter is this Saturday the 21st, though with the cold we’ve been having, winter’s icy touch has already settled into every nook and cranny of our town. If you find yourself stuck on the couch wrapped in a blanket, we promise that it’s worth it to leave your warm abode to join these community events. Take a peak at what the Durango area has in store for you this weekend.
