Weekend in Santa Fe: Outdoor Adventures, Cultural Experiences, and Community Engagement
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Saturday, January 31st, 2026.
We're starting your Saturday with plenty of opportunities to get out and explore our community. If you're an early riser, the Randall Davey Audubon Center is hosting a Winter Bird Walk this morning from 8:30 to 10 o'clock. It's a perfect way to spot some of our resident birds and migratory visitors resting in the garden. Binoculars are provided if you need them, and admission is just 12 dollars for adults, 10 for members.
Looking for something with a bit more excitement? The Paranormal Cirque is in town with shows running through early February. They've got performances tonight at 6:30 and 9:30 p.m., featuring acrobats, illusionists, and all sorts of theatrical surprises. Just a heads up, the show uses strobe lights and is recommended for ages 14 and up.
If you're in the mood for something more cultural, the Margarita Rail departs from the Santa Fe Depot at 12:30 p.m. this afternoon. You'll get a complimentary welcome margarita, live entertainment, and gorgeous views of the New Mexico landscape all rolled into one unique experience.
For those interested in trying something adventurous, there's an Alternate Reality Scavenger Hunt starting at 9 a.m. at the State Visitor Center. It's a fun way to explore Santa Fe while solving puzzles and discovering hidden gems throughout the city.
On a more serious note, our community continues to grapple with important issues. Last Thursday, U.S. Representative Teresa Leger Fernandez joined faith leaders from across Santa Fe for a candlelight vigil at the First Presbyterian Church. More than a hundred people gathered to honor the lives of immigrants who have died in federal custody, including 37-year-old Alex Pretti, who was killed by immigration agents in Minnesota. According to federal data, at least 30 people died in ICE custody last year alone, more than the previous four years combined. Leger Fernandez and other local leaders are calling for accountability and action from federal officials.
Meanwhile, the New Mexico House of Representatives passed House Bill 9, the Immigrant Safety Act, on Friday by a vote of 40 to 29. The bill now moves to the Senate and would prohibit state and local governments from renewing contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement for civil immigration detention. This could significantly impact detention facilities throughout the state.
On the cultural front, if you enjoy theater, Saw the Musical is running at the Center for Progress and Justice Theater with performances throughout February. It's recommended for ages 14 and up, with explicit content and strobe effects.
Whether you're looking for outdoor activities, cultural experiences, or ways to engage with our community on the issues that matter, Santa Fe has something for everyone this weekend.
This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
