"Earth Day Festivities, Community Activism, and Spiritual Pilgrimages Highlight Saturday in Santa Fe"
Published 1 year ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Saturday, April 19th, 2025.
Start your weekend in the City Different with clear skies and a gentle breeze. We are expecting sunny intervals today and a pleasant high of 57 degrees with a low dropping down to 37 tonight, so grab a light jacket if you are heading out for early morning walks or late night events.
As we celebrate Earth Day this weekend, the Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo has something special for families and nature lovers. Their Party for the Planet event is happening from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and it is a great way to get outdoors with the kids. You can enjoy interactive games, crafts, and animal training demonstrations. The highlight is the up-close animal encounters and keeper talks that shine a light on the importance of local and global backyard animals. Conservation groups will be onsite sharing how you can help Santa Fe’s wild places, and for the little ones, there’s a scavenger hunt with prizes. Dr. Jerry Johnston will be sharing fascinating research about turtles in the Santa Fe River, so be sure to check out his talk if you are interested in local wildlife.
If you are looking for a way to make your voice heard, the Hands Off mass mobilization is bringing residents together at the Santa Fe Roundhouse today. This day of action is part of a nationwide movement, with all 50 states participating. Whether you are passionate about advocacy or just curious to learn more about what motivates your neighbors, it is a good chance to connect with your community and be part of a larger conversation on issues facing New Mexico and beyond.
In spiritual news, thousands of pilgrims are making their way through the New Mexico desert today, continuing a centuries-old tradition leading to one of our state’s historic adobe churches. If you spot groups of walkers and cyclists on area roads, please give them some extra space and a friendly wave as they journey on this special day of reflection and unity.
Of course, Santa Fe’s galleries and cafes are humming this weekend. Whether you want to browse new exhibitions, catch live music, or enjoy a green chile breakfast on a sunny patio, there is plenty to do for every taste.
This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We will see you tomorrow with more local updates.
