Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Sunday, October twelfth. It’s shaping up to be a crisp autumn day here in Santa Fe—expect some thundery showers, with highs around 64 and a low of 52, so you might want to carry an umbrella as you head out to enjoy everything our community has to offer today.
If there’s one place to start your day, it’s the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, where Indigenous Peoples’ Day is in full swing—and admission is free all day. From 10:30 this morning to 4 this afternoon, you can catch Native dance performances, storytelling that’s perfect for families, cultural demonstrations, special exhibit tours, and a lot more. It’s a chance to connect with the deep roots of this region and celebrate the vibrant cultures that still thrive here. There’s a real warmth in the air at these gatherings, as locals and visitors alike share stories, food, and inspiration—so if you’re looking for something meaningful, this is the place to be.
Just outside the city, the Galisteo Studio Tour wraps up its final day today, running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The village of Galisteo, about a half-hour southeast of Santa Fe, is buzzing with artists opening their studios, and it’s a golden opportunity to see works by both local legends and internationally recognized talents. The fall colors are peaking right now, so the drive itself is a treat—think golden aspens, clear skies between showers, and a chance to bring home a memorable piece of New Mexico art.
Closer to downtown, don’t forget the Railyard Artisan Market, where you’ll find everything from handmade jewelry and pottery to photography, clothing, and even skincare from local artists. It’s a great spot to wander, shop for holiday gifts, and soak in the creative energy that Santa Fe is so well known for. And while you’re out, why not take a hike? Fall Chair at Ski Santa Fe is wrapping up its season today, offering rides up the mountain for sweeping views of the autumn foliage—perfect for a quick escape into nature before the season changes.
Looking ahead, tomorrow promises even more excitement with the 3rd Annual Honoring Native Nations Powwow on the Santa Fe Plaza, featuring world champion hoop dancer Josiah Enriquez and plenty of music, dance, and culture. If you’re around later in the afternoon, the Lightning Boy Foundation is also hosting a hoop dance performance at Origami in the Garden, blending artistry and storytelling for all ages.
In town news, we’re seeing some shifts in how issues are covered—local reporters like Danielle Prokop, a Santa Fe New Mexican alum and now with Source NM, keep digging into stories about climate, water, and community health, reminding us how vital local journalism is to understanding our changing world. Meanwhile, the courts are active as always—details on hearings are available online, but legal matters mean some days might be tougher than others for families in our city.
Finally, a quick note for those venturing north: The Four Corners Trunk or Treat is happening this evening in Farmington, bringing cars, costumes, and candy together in a burst of Halloween spirit, even if you’ll need to dodge those thunder showers.
So whether you’re spending your Sunday at a festival, in a local artisan market, or just enjoying the changing leaves from your own porch, take a minute to appreciate the mix of creativity, culture, and community that makes Santa Fe so special this time of year. This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
