The 1928 El Morro Theatre and Events Center is the only example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in Gallup. It was designed by Carl Boller of the Boller Brothers architecture firm of Los Angeles and Kansas City. The Boller Brothers firm was responsible for designing many theaters in the Southwest, Midwest and California. Once described as a "castle of pleasure and art", the El Morro occupies a prominent location on Coal Avenue and has been the backdrop to many Indian Tribal Ceremonial parades.

We the People Park is as much a public art installation as it is a park. The sculptures and artifacts on display celebrate Gallup’s culture and history, with tributes to the mining industry and the railroad. The crown jewel of We the People Park is a 110-foot long, 8-foot tall, steel wall of silhouettes depicting people from all walks of life, engaged in a variety of activities. Within the semi-circle, there are 16 empty chairs and a collection of figures at lecterns with single word inscriptions. The sculpture was created by Armando Alvarez to represent "free speech, pluralism, democracy, and our coexistence with the environment."

Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial
Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial

The Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial is one of New Mexico’s oldest annual events. Launched on September 28, 1922, organizers established the event to showcase Native American art, culture, and heritage. The 1922 Ceremonial was a small, community affair, attended primarily by Gallup locals, Navajo and Zuni artisans and dancers, and traders from the area. Dancers were paid a silver dollar. Attendees pulled into Lyons Memorial Park, circling their cars around bonfires, with the headlights illuminating the dancers. A large tent was erected next to the parking area for artisans and traders selling Native American jewelry, pottery, and handwoven rugs. Today, the nightly dances and art market are still integral to the Ceremonial. 103rd Ceremonial | August 1-10, 2025

Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial Rodeo starts tonight! The finals are on Sunday. The Open to the World Rodeo is a must-visit event, displaying a variety of programs such as saddle bronc riding and barrel racing.

Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial starts today, continues through August 11. Come enjoy one of New Mexico's oldest events!

Historic El Rancho Hotel | Since the 1940s the hotel has hosted some of Hollywood’s biggest movie makers and movie stars, including Robert Mitchum, Elia Kazan, Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn, Melvyn Douglas, William Holden, Billy Wilder, Kirk Douglas, Gregory Peck, Ward Bond, Lon Chaney, Jr., Jose Ferrer, Kim Hunter, Troy Donahue, Suzanna Pleshette, and many more. That list continues to grow, because El Rancho continues to host film crews in the area.

The High Desert Trail system is comprised of over 22 miles of trail. The trail is single track and organized into three loops with connectors. The trail changes dramatically from the west end to the east end of the system. The Zuni Mountain Trail system consists of 55 miles of trail options for hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians to explore. In the winter months, the trail system is great for cross-country skiers.

The park is on the north side of I-40. To access the park, take the I-40 exit to Ford Dr./Myamora/Bataan Memorial Dr. Take the first left, on Joseph M. Montoya Blvd. The sculpture will be on your left. There is ample parking. The Playground of Dreams is across the street. Great stop if you have kids that need to burn off some energy. There is a short walking trail through the park.
