In 2025, we are celebrating 75 years of Truth or Consequences Fiesta! This diamond anniversary milestone marks the city’s landmark decision — spurred by its winning participation in a contest sponsored by the very popular national radio and television game show of the same name — to let go of Hot Springs and embrace the distinctive new moniker of Truth or Consequences.
We’re encouraging floats in this year’s parade to carry themes applicable to every “facet” of T or C Fiesta’s diamond anniversary: radio/TV game shows, celebrities, Western and Native cultures, everyone’s love of chiles, and, of course, our main natural claim to fame — our hot springs! These are just few of the possibilities. Be creative and colorful, and above all, make your entry fun!
All parade entrants are required to read and agree to abide by all parade rules, regulations and hold-harmless agreements.
