Due to ongoing dry conditions and prevailing high winds, Fire Marshal Colorado Cordova of the Los Alamos Fire Department (LAFD) has enacted fire restrictions to Stage 1, effective April 28, within the boundaries of Los Alamos County to safeguard public health and safety, as well as protect lands, structures, natural and historical artifacts.

The Los Alamos Public Library will kick off its 2025 Summer Reading Program with a day of circus fun on Monday, June 2 featuring Santa Fe-based performance troupe Wise Fool. This free celebration for all ages includes hands-on workshops and an evening performance at Ashley Pond.
Workshops will take place from 2:00 to 5:30 p.m. in and around Mesa Public Library, with both indoor and outdoor sessions including puppet-making, stilt walking, and a Circus Try-It-Out Zone. From 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. ambient circus performers will entertain guests between the Library and Ashley Pond to build excitement for the evening show.
At 6 p.m. Wise Fool will take the stage at Ashley Pond with a dynamic performance featuring aerialists, jugglers, contortionists and more. Attendees are encouraged to bring a picnic, chairs, and the whole family to enjoy this return engagement—the troupe's first in Los Alamos in a decade.
