Santa Fe Saturday: Botanical Lights, Art Hunts, and a Cabinet Shuffle

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Saturday, December sixth.

If you are up and out early, Museum Hill is already waking up. The Santa Fe Botanical Garden is hosting a general volunteer orientation this morning from nine thirty to noon, a chance to get behind the scenes of one of the citys most beautiful winter landscapes and plug into ongoing garden events and tours throughout the season. Later in the day, you can circle back for La Luz de las Noches, when the garden transforms into a glowing maze of farolitos, light installations, live music, and hot cider under the cold night sky. It is one of those only in Santa Fe experiences that turns a regular Saturday into a holiday postcard.

Across town near the Plaza, art lovers have plenty to explore. The Silver and Gold Group Show at The Owings Gallery on Palace is running all day, offering a mix of shimmer and Southwestern elegance just in time for gift hunting and gallery strolling. Nearby, Paseo Pottery is hosting its 200 Mugs event, where shelves of handmade mugs invite you to find that one perfect, quirky favorite to take home. And Edition One Gallery is celebrating Hail, Hail Rock n Roll 2025, blending visual art with the spirit of classic rock for those who like a little music in their imagery.

If you want something more hands on and playful, an Alternate Reality Scavenger Hunt sets off from French Pastry in town later today, turning downtown Santa Fe into a creative game board with quirky missions and local flavor woven into each clue. For a different kind of storytelling, tonight’s Santa Fe Murder Mystery event, Death in the Shadows, unfolds at 157 West Marcy Street, where guests step into a whodunit set against the backdrop of our historic streets.

Meanwhile at the state level, a leadership change is unfolding right here in the capital. Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department Secretary Melanie Kenderine has stepped down, and Deputy Secretary Erin Taylor is stepping in as acting cabinet secretary. That shift matters locally, as it will shape how New Mexico steers energy policy, land use, and conservation in the high desert for years to come.

Whether youre wrapped in lights at the garden, hunting art and mugs near the Plaza, or solving clues and crimes downtown, Santa Fe is buzzing today.

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