Santa Fe's Vibrant Weekend: Spanish Market, Farmers' Market, and Local Art Celebrations
Published 9 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Saturday, July 26, 2025.
It is a gorgeous summer weekend in Santa Fe and there is a vibrant energy downtown as the city gears up for one of its favorite traditions. This morning, the beloved Traditional Spanish Market is in full swing on the Santa Fe Plaza, running all day and again tomorrow. If you have never been, this free event showcases the incredible artistry and heritage of New Mexico’s Hispanic artists, with dozens of booths offering everything from retablos to hand-carved furniture and traditional jewelry. The plaza will be alive with music, food, and artist demonstrations, making it one of the best ways to connect with the region's rich cultural roots. Don’t forget, tomorrow morning at nine, there will be a Spanish Market Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis, followed by a traditional procession to the Plaza Bandstand for the blessing of artists.
Over at the Railyard, it is market season in full bloom. The Santa Fe Farmers’ Market is open this morning in the Market Pavilion, overflowing with just-picked produce, baked goods, handmade soaps, and treats from area farms. Right outside, the Santa Fe Artists Market gives local creators a chance to shine with unique paintings, textiles, photography, and pottery. It is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to support local talent and maybe pick up that special piece for your home.
Families should check out Sand Play Saturday at Railyard Park, where kids can let their imaginations run wild. It is a great way to get outdoors and let little ones stretch their legs in a safe, welcoming environment.
Art lovers have even more reason to celebrate as Aurelia Gallery on Canyon Road opens its latest show today, WE ARE THE PEOPLE, featuring new works by L. Scooter Morris. The exhibit spotlights fresh artistic voices from our community and runs through the gallery’s closing time this evening.
A quick mention for those following state news: Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has signed an emergency order to address flooding in Doña Ana County, allocating 750 thousand dollars to boost response efforts. While Santa Fe remains dry, anyone with loved ones south of here should know help is on the way.
And a note for those traveling through Albuquerque: there was an overnight shooting at the University of New Mexico dorms. The shelter in place has been lifted and the suspect is in custody. Though this is not in Santa Fe, many locals have family or friends at UNM, and officials are assuring the campus community that increased police presence will remain in place as the investigation continues.
Back here at home, if you are planning to be out this weekend, consider taking the New Mexico Rail Runner Express to avoid parking headaches around the Plaza. Rides are running frequently throughout the festivities.
With so many ways to explore, learn, and connect this weekend, Santa Fe makes it easy to fall back in love with your hometown. This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
