Pig roasting, chile cooking and tortilla rolling are just a few of the highlights at the annual Hispano Chamber Matanza in Belen! This daylong festival, hosted by the Belen Chamber of Commerce, is a signature event that highlights food, culture and history with family-centered activities. This charming, tight-knit community is located at the southernmost end of the Metro area along the Rio Grande. The city of Belen has a lot to offer including the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad’s major east-west line located adjacent to the heart of Belen’s business district. An ideal location for any business looking to relocate, Belen has low-cost industrial sites, inexpensive property, and a workforce pool that encompasses the entire Metro region due to the Belen stop on the New Mexico Rail Runner Express commuter rail. Employers like Ambercare Home Health Care Services, Sud-Chemie, BNSF Railway and Artistech Acrylics all call Belen home. The city offers a mild climate, low cost of living, thriving arts community and regular cultural events, all of which make Belen an ideal location for families.
