PORTALES, N.M. — The 50th annual Peanut Valley Festival in Portales is set to take place on October 21 and 22 at the Roosevelt County Fairgrounds, the Chamber of Commerce said in a press release.
Karl Terry, Roosevelt County Chamber Executive Director, said in a press release the 2023 festival will feature local band Randy Chavez y Sol and La Casita Elementary School’s Baile Folklorico group.
