Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Thursday, November 6, 2025.
We begin with a big civic update—Santa Fe has officially selected its next mayor. Michael Garcia, current District 2 City Councilor and longtime Santa Fe public servant, will step into the role next year after winning 36 percent of the vote in a spirited ranked choice election. Garcia is known for his background in political science and public administration, and his dedication to community issues. In the same election, Elizabeth Barrett will fill Garcia’s spot representing District 2, while Patricia Feghali will serve District 1. The city also passed new proposals for council authority over officials and limits on the mayor’s voting power, plus voted to keep the local property tax rate steady to support schools. So, expect some new faces and fresh energy at City Hall in the coming year.
If you’re looking for things to do today and through the weekend, Santa Fe has you covered with a vibrant array of arts, culture, and community events. Today at the Santa Fe Children’s Museum, families can dive into science and creativity with the Gifts with the Sun event, where kids get hands-on making cyanotypes using sunlight—a unique craft that captures the spirit of autumn learning. For early risers, there’s also the Seeds and Sprouts program which gets kids up close with nature and gardening.
Tonight, make your way to the public library for the Night at the Library program. It’s a chance for readers of all ages to enjoy the library space after hours, meet fellow book lovers, and discover new titles in a cozy evening setting.
The excitement continues tomorrow as the 16th Annual Fred Harvey History Weekend kicks off at the New Mexico History Museum. Starting Friday and running through the weekend, you can join lectures and unique events that celebrate the enduring legacy of Fred Harvey and the iconic Santa Fe Railway. Friday night features a special Harvey Girls author fair, where you can chat with noted writers and historians and stick around for a rare screening of the acclaimed documentary The Harvey Girls Opportunity Bound—all free to the public.
Art lovers should note that Friday evening, the New Mexico Museum of Art hosts a compelling conversation between Lucy R. Lippard and Suzanne Lacy. Their dialogue promises thoughtful discourse about the roles of activism and feminism in shaping the arts, set in the historic St. Francis Auditorium.
For the hands-on crowd, Saturday brings a fascinating paper-making workshop at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, led by Leah Mata Fragua of the Northern Chumash. Spots are limited to keep things personal and engaging. Meanwhile, families can look ahead to Sunday for Make and Take at the Museum of International Folk Art, where kids and adults can try their hand at jewelry making and self-guided treasure hunts.
The local arts and theatre scene is bustling, too—tonight, the New Mexico School for the Arts presents The Diviners, a theater production that opens at 6:30 pm, promising a thought-provoking and moving show from Santa Fe’s talented next generation of performers.
With so much creativity, community spirit, and local flavor, there’s something to spark every interest in Santa Fe today and all weekend long. Whether you’re venturing out for history, hands-on activities, or simply soaking up the vibrant arts scene, Santa Fe is in full swing.
This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
