The Milagro Beanfield War (NEW DATE!)

We have had unprecedented interest in this movie.  We have so many beautiful pieces to this event - honoring Cipriano Vigil and Chick Venerra and working with The Museum of International Folk Art and Wonders on Wheels.  We want to have a beautiful night for the community that everyone can enjoy! 

This movie is sponsored by Del Norte Credit Union.

The Santa Fe Railyard movie series takes place on the beautiful Railyard Park Performance Lawn in the heart of the Railyard Park, located at the intersection of Paseo De Peralta and Cerrillos Rd. Directions and parking info are on the Railyard web site. (You can also download a map [JPG] showing all of the Railyard parking and transportation options.)

• Chairs and blankets are welcome. No umbrellas, please.
• Picnics are welcome but NO ALCOHOL is allowed in City of Santa Fe Parks.
• Well behaved, leashed dogs are OK, but it usually works better to leave your canine companions at home.
• Bike to the Railyard this summer. We are encouraging safe bicycling to the Railyard Series using the Acequia Trail and St. Francis Underpass.

This movie is presented in collaboration with the Museum of International Folk Art and their "Música Buena: Hispano Folk Music of New Mexico" exhibit.  New Mexico music legend and NEA Heritage Fellow Cipriano Vigil will be on hand to play a few songs before the show.  Look for him as an extra in the movie and on the soundtrack.  Then visit the Folk Art Museum and learn more about Cipriano and New Mexican Folk Music. The Department of Cultural Affairs' Wonders on Wheels Educators will be on hand with New Mexico Music information and hands-on craft kits to make onsite or take home.

RESERVATIONS ARE FREE!
Donations to support this series welcome. Suggested minimum donation $10.

In the tiny town of Milagro, New Mexico, where the local water is a premium resource, shady developer Ladd Devine (Richard Bradford) has conceived a glitzy resort that will ultimately siphon off all the water from the neighboring crop-fields. When handyman and farmer Joe Mondragon (Chick Vennera) accidentally breaks a water valve reserved for major companies, he inadvertently sets off a small-scale water-rights war between the farmers and the developers.
