DENNIS HOPPER DAY

Proclaimed by Taos Pueblo, Town and County of Taos, and the State of New Mexico, Dennis Hopper Day is a heartfelt homage to the iconic American actor, director, photographer, and artist, Dennis Hopper (May 17, 1936-May 29, 2010). Hopper’s 1969 directorial debut, “Easy Rider,” showcased Taos’ breathtaking landscapes, propelling him to fame as a symbol of the counterculture movement. “Easy Rider” revolutionized Hollywood and solidified Hopper’s artistic freedom and enduring connection to his home and final resting place, Taos.
