Now that the summer rains and heat have passed and the weather in Nogales is bien agradable (very comfortable), the season for fall events has begun.
This weekend will be filled with opportunities to enjoy the beautiful weather on the Nogales border as you learn about native Sonoran cultures, enjoy traditional music and dance, see classic cars or participate in a remembrance vigil or protest march.
