Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Saturday, November 8th, 2025.
Today, the City Different is waking up to a tapestry of activity and culture, and whether you’re an early riser or just easing into your weekend, there’s no shortage of things to do around town.
Let’s start with a classic Santa Fe experience: the Santa Fe Scenic Train Ride departs from the Santa Fe Depot late this morning. Passengers can soak in iconic high desert views while enjoying first-class service and live entertainment, and if you’re lucky, catch a Native American dance performance. For wine lovers, the Wine Train runs Sundays in November and offers tastes from some of New Mexico’s best wineries alongside those sweeping vistas.
If you feel like stepping back in time, don’t miss the Harvey Car Pop-Up—see an original 1929 Cadillac Harveycar, a custom-built vehicle that once ushered travelers across the Southwest’s most storied locations. And staying with history, the New Mexico History Museum is running the 16th Annual Fred Harvey History Weekend virtually today and tomorrow, with lectures covering everything from Southwest tourism’s golden age to the design secrets of the Grand Canyon.
Art lovers have much to choose from today. The O’Keeffe Museum is celebrating the opening of “Tewa Nangeh, Tewa Country,” a sweeping exhibition honoring Tewa people and culture. Enjoy free admission for New Mexicans all day and special programming, including performances, art activities, and Native American cuisine. Over at the Santa Fe Art Auction, Session III of their Signature Sale begins at 1 p.m., offering over 200 works by post-war and contemporary artists. If you’re more into the emerging scene, don’t miss Apolo Gomez’s “Heartthrob” exhibit, or the fourth annual regional show for high school and middle school artists, which gives a glimpse into the creativity of Santa Fe’s next generation.
For music, the city comes alive all day. This afternoon at Teatro Paraguas, enjoy the flamenco spectacle “Mariposa del Aire,” or catch the legendary Bill Hearne playing a free, all-ages show. Tonight, Paradiso hosts “El Show,” bringing together Nosotros and Nohe y Sus Santos for an electrifying Latin music experience. Over at Boxcar, DJ DMonic and T3 are throwing a party that promises to keep the dance floor moving late into the night.
If you’re looking to give back, join the 17th Annual Cranksgiving bike ride and scavenger hunt. All food collected goes to The Food Depot, helping provide holiday meals for our neighbors in need. Grab your bike, a bag, and your generosity; it’s a fun way to make a real difference.
Active types can check out Flight Lab for aerial and floor conditioning, or the Flex Lab for a deeper dive into flexibility and mobility. Both offer entry points for all skill levels and promise a supportive community vibe.
Remember, furloughed federal workers and their families can enjoy free meals at Tomasita’s and Atrisco restaurants—just show your federal ID and let neighbors take care of neighbors.
The Santa Fe Opera presents a special matinee at the Lensic, with a broadcast of Puccini’s beloved La Bohème—an evergreen tale that never fails to tug at the heartstrings.
That’s a quick round-up for today: art openings, music, history, outdoor adventures, and a city that never stops creating reasons to connect, celebrate, and care for one another.
