Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Saturday, September 13, 2025.Kicking off your weekend, the skies over Santa Fe hold the promise of late-summer sunshine—perfect for getting out and into the city’s vibrant rhythm. Right now, the Santa Fe Botanical Garden continues its popular Sunset Concert Series. Tonight, Noche Bohemia will take the stage, blending lively salsa and bossa nova rhythms alongside nostalgic boleros, so grab a picnic and find your spot in the garden. You can also join guided tours through the lush grounds every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning, which are a great way to discover local plant life and maybe meet fellow garden lovers. If you’re an early riser, member mornings at the garden offer quiet moments for reflection and community connection.Music lovers have another treat in store tonight: country legend Tracy Lawrence is performing live at Buffalo Thunder Resort Casino. Expect classic hits and a wave of New Mexico’s famously friendly crowd—a great chance to dance and sing along with friends old and new. For those with an appetite for the arts and the unusual, Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return opens its doors to their immersive world of art, mystery, and mind-bending rooms. Tickets are still available, and it’s the kind of experience that keeps you guessing and exploring around every corner.Meanwhile, just a bit out of town, the 2025 New Mexico State Fair in Albuquerque is roaring toward its final weekend. Today features folklorist Roger Martinez at the Hispanic Arts Building, a lively Pow Wow dance happening from noon deep into the evening, and the Junior Baking Contest at 1:30 p.m. Tonight, country star Clay Walker pairs up with the PRCA Rodeo for a can't-miss feat of music and heart-pounding sport. If you head out that way, don’t forget to watch for pig and duck races—always a crowd-pleaser—and take advantage of City and County Employee Appreciation Weekend, where staff get a break on ticket prices.Santa Fe’s Route 66 spirit is in the air too, as NM MainStreet districts stretch festivities all the way to Gallup. Whether you’re a local looking for classic road-trip nostalgia or a visitor chasing history, it’s a great weekend for exploring those old neon signs and Main Street charm.On a more serious note, Los Alamos National Laboratory is slated to begin depressurization of several Flanged Tritium Waste Containers today. Officials assure the public that notifications regarding any unplanned releases are set to go out within fifteen minutes should any issues arise.
