Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Sunday, October 5th, 2025. If you step outside today, you'll notice that crisp fall air bringing a buzz of activity to the city as we celebrate the season and connect with one another. Local lawmakers have just wrapped up their special session here in Santa Fe, with the New Mexico House passing a major spending plan to help tackle federal budget cuts. For residents, this means new economic stability measures and promises of continued investment in city programs. If you're interested in seeing local government in action, keep an eye on upcoming sessions, as more bills around community health standards and vaccine policies are in debate.Today is harvest time, and El Rancho de Las Golondrinas is inviting everyone to its annual Harvest Festival from ten in the morning until four in the afternoon. Experience autumn in Santa Fe with traditional crafts, delicious food, and a lively celebration of New Mexico’s agricultural history. Families can expect hands-on activities, local music, and the warm spirit that makes this festival a beloved fall tradition.Art lovers, the New Mexico Museum of Art has a Family Art Making session running from ten to noon at Vladem Contemporary, with light snacks and creativity for all ages. Inspired by the Balloon Fiesta, you'll be crafting balloon silhouettes and exploring the galleries for innovative ideas. This event is free for all New Mexico residents.

The day promises interactive learning and a chance to spark your creative side.In the local business scene, Santa Fe’s own RefractAR is participating in a state-wide job training initiative, which will support workforce development with resources for immersive tech and augmented reality skills. This partnership puts Santa Fe on the map for innovation and opportunity, especially for recent graduates and those looking to break into high-tech careers.And for those following statewide events, the Balloon Fiesta’s static display continues to draw crowds in Albuquerque, inspiring the theme of today’s museum activities. Whether you’re heading up to soak in the festival atmosphere or staying in Santa Fe for plenty of local fun, it’s a great weekend to celebrate New Mexico culture.If you’re about town, don’t forget many museums are offering free admission today for residents—you can explore art, history, and folk culture all in a single stroll.
