Bells of Peace, Plumeria Blooms, and Local Arts - Your Santa Fe Frequency Update
Published 9 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Wednesday, July 16, 2025.
We start today with a moment of reflection. The Archdiocese of Santa Fe is marking the 80th anniversary of the Trinity nuclear test, which happened right here in New Mexico in 1945. At exactly 5:29 this morning, churches across Santa Fe joined in ringing their bells as a call for peace and nuclear disarmament. Local faith leaders, including Archbishop John C. Wester, gathered for a private service at the historic Trinity test site, using this milestone to remember the impacts, especially on the Latino and Native American communities nearby, and to pray for a future free of nuclear threats. If you hear church bells today or notice prayers focused on peace during Mass, know that you’re part of this regional reflection along with the rest of the nation.
Looking for things to do as we head into the weekend? Mark your calendars for the Plumeria Festival, with the festivities kicking off Friday and spilling into Saturday. Visitors can look forward to two days packed with vibrant displays and the sweet scent of tropical blooms, making this an irresistible stop for anyone wanting to soak up summer beauty and local community[2].
Art lovers are still humming from the energy of the International Folk Art Market, which wrapped up on Sunday after a busy weekend that turned the city into a global center of color, music, and creativity. If you missed it, don’t worry—many local shops still feature special collections and artist pop-ups inspired by the market’s magic[5].
Today, Santa Fe County is also seeking applicants for an open seat on the arts panel, an opportunity for creative minds to help shape the city’s cultural direction. Those interested in giving back to the art scene should head over to the Santa Fe County website for details on how to apply[7]. Also in public service news, the parent company of Casa Real, a local care facility, has filed for bankruptcy, but officials reassure residents and families that there is no change in care or day-to-day operations[7].
In sports, big news for fans as Yankees’ slugger Aaron Judge continues his charge toward the 500-home run milestone, and Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama has been cleared to return following a blood clot, both sparking excitement for the late summer sports calendar[7].
And for those planning ahead, Walmart’s Open Call initiative for local entrepreneurs returns this October, giving New Mexico-based suppliers a shot at getting their products into the hands of millions of customers. This could be a huge boost for emerging local businesses, so now is the time to polish those pitches if you dream of seeing your product on store shelves[3].
That wraps up today’s update. Whether you’re pausing to reflect on our shared history, enjoying Santa Fe’s vibrant arts and festival scene, or catching the latest in sports and business, there’s always something happening in our city that connects us all.
This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
