Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Monday, September 8, 2025. September always feels like a new chapter in Santa Fe, and as we roll into this week, the city is still buzzing from the close of the 313th Fiesta de Santa Fe. Yesterday’s Desfile de la Gente, the grand Historical and Hysterical Parade, brought thousands to the Plaza with a joyful spectacle of colorful floats, dancers in traditional attire, and a whirlwind of music. If you missed it, social media is full of photos capturing everything from vintage lowriders to towering puppets marching through the Plaza, and the city’s spirit was on full display.As Fiesta wraps up, you can still soak in some of that creative energy—Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return offers its immersive art experience, with tickets available for today. It’s a perfect way to shake off the Monday blues surrounded by otherworldly art installations and interactive storytelling. For those who love words and performance, local favorite Johnny Lloyd brings his poetry to Cowgirl at 4 p.m., promising a lively, thoughtful set for anyone looking to spend the afternoon deep in verse or just hanging out with Santa Fe’s vibrant arts crowd.In the world of public affairs, the New Mexico Legislature is back in session today with interim committee meetings. Big changes are happening statewide, including the recent Tenth Circuit Court ruling that struck down New Mexico’s seven-day waiting period for gun purchases. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has called the decision deeply disappointing, stressing that the law was crafted to minimize gun violence in communities like ours. This ongoing legal debate could affect local policy and community conversations about public safety.In state news with Santa Fe ties, the New Mexico Land Office has again set records, earning over a quarter of a billion dollars in a single oil and gas lease sale, championed by Santa Fe’s own Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard. Revenue from these leases supports public schools and hospitals, so expect more conversations about how this boost might be felt across city budgets and services in the months to come.If you’re making court runs today, Santa Fe County Magistrate and District Courts have a full docket, with hearings starting promptly at 8 a.m. For folks in Las Vegas—our neighbors to the north—the Environment Department just wrapped up major upgrades to local drinking water and wastewater systems, improving reliability after last year’s devastating wildfires. And for those focused on inclusivity and opportunity, Dr. Stephon L. Scott has been named the new director of New Mexico’s Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, promising to prioritize robust services for residents living with disabilities.Finally, for sports fans up the road in Los Alamos, it’s a busy week for the Hilltoppers with soccer, football, and volleyball games on the calendar—just a reminder that it’s prime season for catching our region’s young athletes in action.That’s what’s happening around Santa Fe today—full of art, debate, recovery, and celebration. This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
