Downtown is

for everyone.

We believe that the plaza district is for everyone. It is a safe, walkable, and bike-able place with a strong, diverse economy and thriving businesses.

Meet Me at McCarthy’s

This summer, something new is bringing energy and connection to downtown Taos. Meet Me at McCarthy’s is a free weekly walk, jog, or run event held every Monday evening from 5 to 7 PM. It’s designed to bring people of all ages together for outdoor movement, community connection, and wellness in an inclusive, non-competitive setting.

What We Do

We invest in the people, ideas, and projects shaping the future of downtown. Through hands-on programs in business development, public space improvement, community events, and local storytelling, we’re creating a Taos that’s vibrant, inclusive, and economically resilient. We focus on transformation that’s visible, tangible, and grounded in community needs.

Destination Stewardship

Supporting responsible tourism in Taos

Destination Stewardship Plans are a relatively new tool supporting tourism organizations, designed to take a holistic approach to overall assessment and strategic planning for developing a roadmap to support the long-term health of destinations and the well-being of host communities. This strategic roadmap will identify, amplify, and align shared community values in ecosystem stewardship, economic vibrancy, infrastructure investments, growth management, and quality of life enhancement for residents.
