The Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the village of Tortugas, New Mexico, in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, is an annual three day festival in December. It includes processions, church services, traditional dances, and a pilgrimage up Tortugas Mountain.
It honors the Virgin and relates to Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe.

The festival originated at the Mission Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe in what is now Chihuahua in Mexico and was moved later to Tortugas, New Mexico.
