Community Events
Twirl is known for its own signature annual events like Twirl Aglow, Halloweenie, the Global Cardboard Challenge, Invent Event and The Paseo. These large-scale events bring our community together in play, celebration and creativity, and have become fixtures on the Taos events calendar. You can find wonderful photos from all of them on our Facebook page . We also host regular monthly events on-site in the Twirl playroom and in our beautiful playgrounds, as well as participating in events in the Taos community.
