Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Monday, October 13, 2025.
Santa Fe is waking up to crisp autumn air and a day packed with culture and community vibes. If you're thinking of things to do, today's a fantastic day to get out and celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day, a moment to honor rich traditions and histories. While events are happening all over New Mexico, Santa Fe's museums and galleries are marking the day with special exhibitions and educational programs. This is a great opportunity to learn, connect, and support local Indigenous communities through art, discussion, and family-friendly activities.
The city is also buzzing in anticipation of the Santa Fe International Film Festival, which kicks off this Wednesday and runs through Sunday. This annual gathering draws filmmakers and cinephiles from far and wide, showcasing films that provoke thought, celebrate diversity, and spotlight emerging talent. Even if you’re not a hardcore movie buff, checking out a screening or a panel is a chance to experience Santa Fe’s thriving arts scene from a fresh angle. Venues all over downtown are gearing up with popcorn, red carpets, and plenty of local flavor, so you can make an evening of it or just drop in for a single film.
In breaking news, a major environmental decision unfolded last week as a private energy company announced it is abandoning its controversial proposal to store nuclear waste in southeastern New Mexico. This comes after months of debate and public outcry, with Santa Fe residents voicing strong opinions on preserving New Mexico’s land and prioritizing safety. The move is being welcomed by advocates, local leaders, and environmental groups, who hope this marks a shift toward more sustainable energy choices for the state.
Santa Fe’s local journalism scene also made headlines, with Lily Alexander, former Daily Lobo editor and current reporter for the Santa Fe New Mexican, winning her lawsuit against the University of New Mexico. Her victory centers on public access to police records, upholding the critical role of transparency and student journalism. Alexander’s success is already inspiring young reporters across New Mexico to persist in challenging the limits and safeguarding public rights.
If you’re heading out this evening, expect mild weather—perfect for a stroll down Canyon Road, where many galleries stay open late. And don’t miss the chance to check in at the Plaza, where street performers and local musicians often make Mondays a little more magical.
Santa Fe’s community spirit is strong today, with neighbors supporting one another in all sorts of ways. Whether you’re volunteering, enjoying the arts, or just soaking in the southwestern sunset, there’s something for everyone.
This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
