The City of Socorro has a population just over 35,000 as estimated since the growth of the 2010 Census.  Since it is re-incorporation in 1986 the City of Socorro has grown in community & opportunities. As part of the City’s Quality of Life strategies, the City’s special events include strategies for bringing new & existing residents together under the shared leadership of the City Council.  The special events team actively works together with partnering sponsors, organizations, agencies, businesses, and vendors to consistently push the boundaries of what is capable of providing the community with a wide array of experiences to build on family memories. By City Policy, absolutely no campaigning or campaign propaganda are allowed onto City Events.
