Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Saturday, August 16, 2025. The summer spirit is alive and electrified in downtown Santa Fe this weekend as the world-famous Santa Fe Indian Market returns. For art lovers, this is the chance to see more than a thousand celebrated and emerging Indigenous artists from over two hundred tribal nations showing their jewelry, pottery, textiles, painting, and sculpture. Today’s centerpiece is the Native Narratives and Nibbles brunch at the Museum of Contemporary Native Art Courtyard, where you can meet the creative minds behind “Jim Thorpe: Lit by Lightning,” a landmark in Native film and storytelling. Doors open at ten thirty and the program runs until one, with tickets moving quickly so check availability before heading out.The festivities continue at the Palace of the Governors with the Native American Portal Artisans Courtyard Sales from ten to four. Step inside for free and find hand-crafted art, local food booths, and music, with performances from vendors representing twenty-three Native American tribes and pueblos. Just down the way, the New Mexico History Museum presents a thought-provoking panel on the legacies of livestock reduction at one pm, followed by a book talk with historian Martha A. Sandweiss at three, unearthing forgotten stories from New Mexico’s layered past. Seating for both is limited in the John Gaw Meem Room.If you are in the mood for more art, Aurelia Gallery is celebrating the opening of “We Are the People,” featuring new works by L. Scooter Morris—a great stop as the galleries buzz with out-of-town visitors today. Over in the Railyard District, the Santa Fe Artists Market is open from nine to two, and you can also get your weekend produce fix at the Farmers’ Market. Both offer local produce, unique crafts, and the vibrant energy of the community.Tonight, music fans can catch the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival at the Lensic Performing Arts Center, where Mozart and Brahms will fill downtown with classical brilliance starting at six. The city is also supporting Catholic Charities’ Immigration and Refugee Support fund this weekend with collections at various churches, a timely reminder of Santa Fe’s ongoing commitment to inclusion.Finally, in regional news, rescue crews responded to three teenage hikers stranded high in the Santa Fe Mountains last night—thanks to a quick-thinking Kirtland airman, all are safe and recovering. Throughout this spirited weekend, keep an eye out for extra traffic and remember to stay hydrated as crowds swell around the Plaza.This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency.
