Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Saturday, August 30, 2025.Santa Fe is buzzing this weekend as we all recover from last night’s unforgettable Burning of Zozobra, which drew crowds together at Fort Marcy Park for its 101st year—locals and visitors both watched Old Man Gloom go up in flames, marking the true start of Fiesta season. And Fiesta continues today: head downtown for the Fiesta Fine Arts and Crafts Market at the Santa Fe Plaza, where local artisans showcase their best work and you can pick up unique gifts with true Santa Fe soul. Over at the Santa Fe Opera, the Mariachi Extravaganza promises music and energy, celebrating New Mexico’s vibrant cultural roots. Nearby, the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market is open, with late-summer produce, baked goods, and crafts from our region’s farmers and makers—perfect for picking up fresh ingredients or connecting with the community.In city news, Mayor Alan Webber is sparking conversation by proposing a minimum wage increase, raising it from fifteen dollars to seventeen fifty by 2027. With Santa Fe’s expensive housing costs, the mayor says this is about keeping local families right here instead of being priced out. Two town halls are planned so you can share your thoughts, one in person and one on Zoom. It’s a big development for workers and businesses that may ripple far beyond just our city.For those looking to immerse themselves in the arts, there’s an abundance tonight. The Santa Fe Playhouse stages Pueblo Revolt at seven thirty, offering a powerful look at history right on De Vargas Street. If you’re in the mood for poetry, Encantado: The Poetry of New Mexico plays at two in the afternoon and again at seven thirty. Or check out The Exodus Ensemble’s CYRANO, a fresh take on the classic, at the Center for Contemporary Arts this evening.For families, the Canyon Road Art & History Tour runs all weekend, offering insight into Santa Fe’s celebrated art district. If you’re the hands-on type, tomorrow at El Rancho de las Golondrinas, “Can You Dig It?” gives kids and adults alike a chance to try archaeology firsthand. And looking ahead, the Santa Fe Renaissance Faire returns in two weeks for history, costumes, and kids’ activities.Santa Fe’s pulse remains steady—whether you’re tasting homegrown tomatoes, debating policy changes, or losing yourself in theatre and song, there’s something for everyone. If you’re traveling, watch for increased police presence downtown due to Fiesta events and expect some street closures in the plaza area.This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency.
