Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Wednesday, December 17, 2025.

Waking up in the City Different today, you can expect a crisp, cool winter morning, so if you are heading to the Plaza or the Railyard, you will want a warm layer and maybe that favorite scarf. Downtown will start to come alive midmorning as holiday visitors mix with locals running errands and grabbing coffee.

At the Roundhouse, policy is on the agenda. The Legislative Education Study Committee is meeting at the State Capitol through the next few days, digging into how New Mexico funds its schools and supports students and teachers. Those conversations may sound abstract, but they shape everything from classroom sizes in Santa Fe Public Schools to support services for kids in rural Northern New Mexico, so educators and parents will be watching closely.

If you are looking for things to do, families with young kids can start with Wee Wednesday style programming around town, with hands on activities and story times that give parents a break and little ones some creative play. Over at the New Mexico Museum of Art and other state museums, regular plaza admission is in effect today, which means an easy cultural outing for guests in town and locals who have not visited in a while.

Holiday spirit is strong across Santa Fe. You can catch the Santa Fe Holiday Tree and Train Display, with miniature trains looping through festive village scenes, a favorite for kids and train buffs alike. Around the Railyard, seasonal markets and artisan booths continue, giving you one more chance to pick up locally made gifts and support area artists and makers.

Midday, St. Johns College hosts Sicut Cervus, a brief choral event scheduled from 12:15 to 12:30. It is a contemplative musical pause in the middle of the day, and a reminder of the tight knit academic and artistic community on the hill.

As evening falls, film lovers can head to a local independent screen for a showing of Yi Yi, the acclaimed Taiwanese drama by Edward Yang, starting at 7:15. It is the kind of quiet, beautifully observed film that fits a winter night in Santa Fe, inviting you to slow down and reflect.

Around the courts, the Santa Fe County Magistrate Court docket is moving through compliance hearings and routine cases, the everyday work that underpins public safety and accountability here at home.

Whether you are stepping into a policy meeting, browsing artisan stalls, or settling into a movie seat tonight, Santa Fe offers plenty of ways to connect, learn, and unwind.

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Saturday, December 13.

Across New Mexico politics, all eyes are on the Roundhouse, where Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is said to be weighing a surprising move: appointing one of her frequent critics to a vacant state Senate seat. That possibility has insiders buzzing, because it could reshape alliances on issues like education funding and wildfire recovery, and it is a reminder that even in a deep blue state, coalition building sometimes means bringing skeptics into the fold. Local advocates are watching closely to see whether Santa Fe’s priorities, from water security to affordable housing, get a louder voice if that appointment goes through.

If you are heading out this morning, downtown is already starting to hum. Over at the Railyard, the Santa Fe Artists Market is getting underway, offering locally made jewelry, textiles, and fine art from regional makers. It is one of those places where you can chat directly with the artist, pick up a last minute gift, and feel that small city, big culture energy all at once. Not far away, El Museo Cultural is hosting Saturday Sips, pairing art, community, and a relaxed cup of something warm as people stroll in from the chilly morning air.

For more browsing, El Mercado del Museo is open with vendors selling crafts, vintage finds, and handmade goods, and just a short walk away the Railyard Artisan Market and the Farmers Market pavilion keep the focus on local food, from fresh chile and winter greens to baked goods still warm from the oven. These markets are not just for shopping, they are weekly reunions for neighbors and a vital income stream for small farmers and makers.

If you are in the mood for a little mystery tonight, there is a live interactive show, Santa Fe Murder Mystery: Death in the Shadows, at 157 West Marcy Street. Guests become part of the story, following clues through a noir style whodunit set against the backdrop of downtown. It is a fun way to experience the city in character, and a nice option for groups looking for something beyond the usual dinner and a movie.

Train lovers and weekend adventurers can look to the rails this afternoon. The New Mexico Wine Train is rolling with a midday departure, offering scenic views, local pours, and that classic Santa Fe blend of old world rail travel and modern tasting room vibes. Later in the day, the Margarita Rail adds a more festive note with cocktails and live music as the sun drops behind the Sangre de Cristos, turning the sky that unforgettable high desert pink.

For those on the south side, Santa Fe Community College is busy with its Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair, filling the campus with student and community vendors. Events like this not only showcase emerging artists, they connect the college to the wider city and help keep tuition supported through community engagement.

And if you are planning ahead beyond today, keep an eye on cultural calendars around town. From opera performances like The Farolitos of Christmas to gallery openings and neighborhood farolito walks, the city is sliding into peak holiday season, when adobe walls glow, luminarias line the streets, and every evening feels like a postcard.

Wherever you are headed, bundle up, support a local vendor, and leave a little extra time for parking around the Railyard and downtown.

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Thursday, December 11.

Santa Fe wakes up under sunny intervals today, with a high around the mid 50s and an overnight low in the mid 30s, so you will want a jacket early and late, but the middle of the day should feel pleasantly crisp and bright.

If you are starting your morning in town, the Santa Fe Reporter calendar has a full slate of local happenings, from casual meetups like coffee gatherings to games and community events, so it is a good day to explore something new and low key in the neighborhood scene.

On the civic side, the Santa Fe County Magistrate Court is moving through a busy docket today, with pretrial hearings and other proceedings scheduled beginning early this morning at the courthouse on Mendoza Street. While most of us are not headed to court, those hearings shape everything from traffic outcomes to local disputes, and they are a reminder of how much of our daily life runs through that small downtown complex.

Over on the east side, the St. Johns College Santa Fe campus is buzzing with activity. Midday, students and locals alike can drop into fitness sessions at the Student Activities Center, including basketball and weight room hours in the early afternoon and again late tonight, running as late as just before midnight. These open rec times are a handy option if you are looking to move your body without committing to a full gym membership.

As the sun goes down, Santa Fe leans into arts, stories, and sound. The Santa Fe Reporter listings highlight an evening sound bath at Mongata Healing Center, inviting folks to unwind in a more meditative way, while the Kitchen and Bar at the Drury Hotel is hosting a Seeds and Sprouts themed gathering, blending food, conversation, and community. If you prefer narrative over nourishment, the Santa Fe Story Lab Holiday Edition, Step into the Story, offers a festive, interactive storytelling experience that taps into the season’s nostalgia and creativity.

If you are in the mood to dance, La Fonda on the Plaza hosts salsa lessons and live music this evening, with an early evening lesson followed by social dancing. It is approachable enough for beginners but lively enough for seasoned dancers, and it turns one of Santa Fe’s most historic hotels into a genuinely social ballroom for a few hours.

Families looking beyond town might also note the Polar Express Pajama Party up in Bloomfield this evening, from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Bloomfield Multicultural Center. It is a bit of a drive, but for rail loving kids and holiday fans, the promise of pajamas, Santa, and free activities may make the road trip worth it.

As you plan your day, remember that most indoor events appreciate an early arrival, and with that evening temperature drop, layering is your best friend going from gallery, to hotel bar, to late night salsa floor.

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Wednesday, December 10, 2025.

Around northern New Mexico today, the big regional story with a Santa Fe connection is about the landscapes that helped define our artistic identity. A new conservation agreement is being put in place to protect roughly ten square miles near Abiquiu, preserving the desert vistas that inspired Georgia OKeeffe and safeguarding access to the Ghost Ranch education and retreat center. The plan uses conservation easements to prevent future subdivision and heavy development, while still allowing traditional winter grazing and some film production, which means the views you see on canvas and in movies will stay much the same for decades to come. It is also backed by state conservation funding, tying Santa Fes art legacy directly to long term land stewardship.

In city life today, if you are looking to get moving, St. Johns College on the east side has a full slate of campus activities open to the community. The Santa Fe campus Student Activities Center is hosting early morning weight room hours and a midday yoga session in the FAB Studio, plus afternoon basketball on the courts, so it is a good low key way to get some exercise between holiday events.

If you prefer coffee and conversation, the Santa Fe Reporter events calendar highlights a Queer Coffee get together at the local LGBTQ center this morning, along with Chess at the Mall at DeVargas Center and a fiber arts exhibit at the Vista Grande Public Library, giving you options whether you want community, quiet strategy, or a bit of handmade inspiration.

For families, LiggettVille Adventure Center at the Santa Fe mall is running Adventure for Good starting today. Bring a non perishable food item for local donation and you get a discount on a premier combo ticket, turning a ropes course outing into a way to support neighbors facing food insecurity as winter sets in.

And if you feel like making a short day trip, Los Alamos SALA is in the middle of its holiday anniversary week, with a daytime business networking luncheon and a Polar Express night this evening featuring a visit from Santa, seasonal food, and a community film screening.

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for today.

Santa Fe is easing into the workweek with that familiar mix of crisp morning air and bright winter sun, so if you are heading out early, plan on chilly temperatures to start, warming into a comfortable afternoon perfect for walking the Plaza or hitting a trail after work. Layer up now, peel off later.

If you commute through downtown, give yourself a few extra minutes near the courthouse area. The Santa Fe County Magistrate Court is running a full morning docket of arraignments and hearings today, which means more foot traffic, tighter parking, and a bit of extra congestion on nearby streets as attorneys, defendants, and witnesses move in and out of the building. What happens inside those walls shapes everything from public safety to how quickly local disputes get resolved, so that bustle is the sound of the justice system in motion.

For those looking ahead to holiday-inspired outings, local calendars are starting to fill up. Santa Fe venues are rolling into peak season for live music, markets, and community gatherings. Keep an eye on ongoing favorites like the Railyard area markets and artisan events, where local makers are selling everything from jewelry to small-batch foods, giving you a chance to keep your gift dollars close to home. Those markets are not just fun browsing; they are a key part of the creative economy that allows working artists to stay in Santa Fe.

If you work in the hospitality or service industry, tonight brings a little love your way. Several local bars and restaurants are hosting industry appreciation nights, offering specially priced cocktails and deals when you show a server or industry card. It is a chance for the people who make everyone else’s night out special to relax, trade stories, and build connections that keep the service scene humming all year long.

Looking slightly down the calendar, regional holiday events like living nativities and luminaria and farolito celebrations are gearing up across Northern New Mexico, and Santa Fe families are already planning drives and evening strolls to take them in. These traditions do more than light up the night; they support churches, cultural institutions, and neighborhood groups that rely on year-end turnout.

Whether your plan today is a court errand, a shift on Canyon Road, a spin through the Railyard, or a quiet night at your neighborhood bar, Santa Fe is moving with that steady pre-holiday energy.

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Sunday, December 7th, coming to you from the high desert with a mix of culture, news, and things to do around town today.

If you are looking to get outside the house, downtown is where a lot of the action is. Over at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, the Winter Spanish Market wraps up its weekend run, bringing together traditional Spanish colonial arts, from santos and retablos to tinwork, woodworking, and jewelry by artists from across New Mexico. It is one of those only in Santa Fe events that doubles as both a holiday shopping trip and a living history lesson in the citys Hispanic heritage, and it runs through today. Nearby, La Fonda on the Plaza is hosting a holiday art market, adding even more local creatives to the mix, so the Plaza area will be buzzing with shoppers, artists, and plenty of holiday lights.

Just a short drive away, the 4th Annual Galisteo Holiday Market continues at the Galisteo Community Center, open from 10 to 4. You will find regional makers, from fiber artists to potters, plus free coffee and cider to keep you warm as you browse. It is a nice way to get a taste of village life outside the city while still knocking out your gift list.

Back in town, the Railyard Artisan Market is set up at the Farmers Market Pavilion, offering everything from handmade jewelry and textiles to fine art. Paired with the Railyards galleries and cafes, it makes for an easy half day wandering, sipping coffee, and meeting the people behind the work you are buying.

If you want something hands on, the New Mexico History Museum is hosting a holiday card and ornament making community event starting at 10 this morning, a family friendly way to plug into local history while creating your own keepsakes.

As evening falls, the focus shifts back to the Plaza, where the 49th annual Las Posadas procession begins around 5:30. This candlelit reenactment of Mary and Josephs search for shelter winds through the Plaza with call and response songs, ending at the bandstand with carols and plenty of community spirit. It is one of Santa Fes most cherished seasonal traditions, and it transforms the heart of downtown into an illuminated, story filled gathering place.

Regionally, New Mexico Historic Sites are in full holiday mode, from winter art markets to upcoming farolito and luminaria nights, and the Bureau of Land Management is promoting budget friendly holiday access to public lands, reminding families that hiking, sledding, and stargazing remain some of the best free or low cost ways to celebrate this season together.

On the policy front, New Mexico leaders are continuing to respond to federal pressure over voter data requests, part of a broader national fight about election integrity and privacy, while at the state level, recent changes in energy leadership signal ongoing debates about how New Mexico will balance resource development, conservation, and climate goals in the years ahead. Those decisions will ripple into Santa Fe through utility rates, jobs, and how we steward the landscapes just beyond our city limits.

Finally, if you are planning to move around town, be aware that recent and upcoming film productions continue to bring temporary street closures to parts of Santa Fe. They may slow your drive a bit, but they also keep the local film economy humming, supporting everyone from crew members to caterers and small businesses.

Bundle up, enjoy the mix of art markets, hands on creativity, and candlelit tradition, and remember that every ticket, purchase, and walk on the Plaza today helps sustain the cultural fabric that makes Santa Fe feel like home.

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Saturday, December sixth.

If you are up and out early, Museum Hill is already waking up. The Santa Fe Botanical Garden is hosting a general volunteer orientation this morning from nine thirty to noon, a chance to get behind the scenes of one of the citys most beautiful winter landscapes and plug into ongoing garden events and tours throughout the season. Later in the day, you can circle back for La Luz de las Noches, when the garden transforms into a glowing maze of farolitos, light installations, live music, and hot cider under the cold night sky. It is one of those only in Santa Fe experiences that turns a regular Saturday into a holiday postcard.

Across town near the Plaza, art lovers have plenty to explore. The Silver and Gold Group Show at The Owings Gallery on Palace is running all day, offering a mix of shimmer and Southwestern elegance just in time for gift hunting and gallery strolling. Nearby, Paseo Pottery is hosting its 200 Mugs event, where shelves of handmade mugs invite you to find that one perfect, quirky favorite to take home. And Edition One Gallery is celebrating Hail, Hail Rock n Roll 2025, blending visual art with the spirit of classic rock for those who like a little music in their imagery.

If you want something more hands on and playful, an Alternate Reality Scavenger Hunt sets off from French Pastry in town later today, turning downtown Santa Fe into a creative game board with quirky missions and local flavor woven into each clue. For a different kind of storytelling, tonight’s Santa Fe Murder Mystery event, Death in the Shadows, unfolds at 157 West Marcy Street, where guests step into a whodunit set against the backdrop of our historic streets.

Meanwhile at the state level, a leadership change is unfolding right here in the capital. Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department Secretary Melanie Kenderine has stepped down, and Deputy Secretary Erin Taylor is stepping in as acting cabinet secretary. That shift matters locally, as it will shape how New Mexico steers energy policy, land use, and conservation in the high desert for years to come.

Whether youre wrapped in lights at the garden, hunting art and mugs near the Plaza, or solving clues and crimes downtown, Santa Fe is buzzing today.

It's the first day of December here in Santa Fe, and the holiday season is officially kicking into high gear. The Capitol building is back in business after closing for the Thanksgiving holiday, and the New Mexico Legislature is ready to get back to work with committee sessions scheduled to resume.

Speaking of the holidays, if you're looking to get into the festive spirit this evening, you're in luck. The Santa Fe Concert Band is presenting their Holiday Concert tonight at the Lensic at seven o'clock. It's a perfect way to start your December with some classic seasonal favorites performed by local musicians.

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Sunday, November 30th, 2025.

We're wrapping up a big weekend here in the City Different. If you missed it yesterday, the Winter Indian Market is in full swing at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, and it's still going strong today until four o'clock. This is the twentieth year for what's become Santa Fe's premier holiday art market, featuring over one hundred sixty juried Native artists showcasing everything from jewelry and pottery to textiles, paintings, and sculpture. It's not just shopping though. There's live music, dance performances, and Native food vendors creating a real festive atmosphere. Day passes are available at the door, and children twelve and under get in free. It's a wonderful opportunity to support artists directly and find meaningful gifts that carry real stories and cultural significance.

Speaking of community events, if you're interested in supporting local literacy efforts, there's a Flash Fiction Writing Contest happening this weekend at the convention center as well, benefiting Ethos Literacy. Writers of all ages can submit a hundred word story on topics like chicken, detour, purple, or something lost. The entry fee is just fifteen dollars per story, and there are six prizes including a special Best Youth Story award for writers fourteen to seventeen.

On the policy front, Santa Fe's City Council made a significant move earlier this month that could reshape how we think about minimum wage. On November thirteenth, council members voted to integrate housing costs directly into the calculation of the citywide minimum wage going forward. This is a real attempt to address the cost of living crisis that's impacting workers across our community. It's a model that could offer important lessons not just locally but for other expensive housing markets across the country.

Looking ahead, the Railyard Artisan Market opens up at ten o'clock this morning at the Community Convention Center, so if you're hunting for unique handmade goods and local art, that's your spot. And if you're a fan of live music, keep an eye on Paradiso Santa Fe, which continues to host excellent jazz performances throughout the season.

The weather today should be fairly typical for late November here at seventy-one hundred feet elevation, so bundle up if you're heading out to any of these events. Santa Fe mornings can be crisp, as anyone who's lived here knows.

Well folks, if you haven't gotten out of bed yet, you might want to reconsider because today is absolutely packed with things to do right here in Santa Fe. We're talking a full day of community celebration, art, music, and holiday shopping.

Let's start with the big events happening right now. The SWAIA Winter Indian Market is in full swing at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center on West Marcy Street. This two day event runs through tomorrow and it's a magnificent showcase of authentic Native American art and culture. We're talking jewelry, pottery, textiles, paintings, sculptures, and so much more. It's the perfect place to find unique holiday gifts while supporting Indigenous artists directly. Plus there's live music, dance performances, and Native food vendors throughout the day. The market opens at ten in the morning and stays open until six tonight.

If you're looking for something a little different, head over to the Santa Fe Mini Makers Market also happening this morning at the Center for Progress and Justice on Cerrillos Road from ten to three. This is all about supporting local youth artists and small family run businesses. You'll find handmade goods, art, and crafts in every medium imaginable.

Then there's the Shop Local ArtWalk happening at Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery on Agua Fria Street from noon to four. It's free and family friendly, and it's basically an all day holiday party with local artists and makers showing off their one of a kind creations right there on the brewery grounds.

For the evening crowd, if you're in the mood for live music, head to the Mine Shaft Tavern in Madrid where St. Range takes the stage at two in the afternoon, and Ukaladies performs at seven. If darkwave and electronic music is more your speed, The Darkwave Lounge transforms the DL SF into an audio visual experience tonight, taking you on a journey into the shadows as they celebrate the setting sun.

And if you need a little movement in your life, the Santa Fe Farmers Market opens at eight this morning, and there's chess happening at the mall at ten.

It's a Saturday absolutely brimming with community spirit, creativity, and connection. Get out there and make the most of it.

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Thursday, November 27th, 2025.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our listeners out there. We're starting this morning with some important developments happening right here in our community that deserve your attention.

First up, there's significant activity at the state level affecting our utilities and energy future. New Mexico lawmakers are raising serious questions about a proposed sale of New Mexico Gas Company to a private equity firm called Bernhard Capital Partners. State Senator Harold Pope Junior and State Representative Matthew McQueen are pushing for greater transparency in this nearly one point three billion dollar deal. What's concerning these lawmakers and local energy advocates is that critical information about the buyer's regulatory history appears to be missing from the official record. Questions have surfaced about the company's past involvement with disaster response contracts and various operational concerns. Energy advocates are calling for a more robust discovery process to ensure the public knows who's taking over this essential utility service. It's a reminder that these big business decisions happening in our state can have real impacts on our wallets and our community's future.

On a lighter note, if you're looking for things to do today or this weekend, Santa Fe has some wonderful options. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is hosting several exhibits that just opened, including Indigenous Freeways and a Native American Student Art Show focused on planning our future homes. If you're more into the arts, the Harwood Museum in Taos has a new exhibition called Pursuit of Happiness exploring the GI Bill's impact. And for those interested in hands-on activities, TLC Stained Glass is offering three-dimensional succulent workshops and holiday ornament classes running through the end of December.

Tonight if you're looking for entertainment and community, there's Cocktails and Trivia happening at As Above So Below Distillery starting at six thirty. If you're in the mood for live music and dancing, head over to Boxcar where VDJ Dany is spinning Latin Night starting at nine.

For our yoga enthusiasts, the Santa Fe Community Yoga Center has morning sessions today and continuing through the weekend if you need to balance out that Thanksgiving feast.

And don't forget, the Santa Fe Jewish Community Center is celebrating Chanukah today with special programming throughout the season.
