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

Santa Fe is easing into the holidays with that mix of cozy, contemplative, and just enough bustle to keep things interesting, and there is plenty to get you out of the house and into the community.

If you are up before dawn or just craving something a little spiritual and seasonal, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture is hosting a Winter Solstice celebration, with early morning sunrise watching, breakfast, bird watching, and storytelling by Diné storyteller Sunny Dooley, plus a morning talk to reflect on the turning of the season. It is a gentle way to mark the longest night and welcome the light back into the high desert sky.

For those looking to slow down in another way, World Meditation Day is being observed here in town at the Santa Fe Friends Meeting on Camino de los Marquez. The gathering runs about an hour and a half and is open to everyone, whether you are brand new to meditation or already have a cushion with your name on it. Organizers are promising a relaxed community feel, some simple practices, and a chance to reset before the holiday rush.

If your idea of centering yourself involves art and shopping, the local markets have you covered. El Mercado del Museo is going on today, bringing together local vendors and artisans, and over in the Railyard, the Railyard Artisan Market is in full swing, a favorite spot for last minute, truly local gifts and handmade treasures. Holiday trains and family friendly fun are rolling as well, with Pablo’s Holiday Express charming kids and adults alike.

Music lovers have options too. Local acts like the Pat Malone Trio and the Silver Sky Blues Band are on today’s Santa Fe Reporter calendar, adding a live soundtrack to your afternoon or evening, along with dance and performance from Bellyreena and others around town.

Food and wine fans can cap the day in style at Gruet Winery’s Santa Fe tasting room, where a Winter Wine Dinner with Wolf and Roadrunner is scheduled from seven to ten tonight, pairing sparkling wines with a curated seasonal menu for a festive, grown up night out.

As always, keep an eye on local advisories and plan a little extra time on the roads, especially after evening events.

This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
