  • Childhood Vaccines, Art Workshops, and Improv-aganza: A Santa Fe Local Update

    Childhood Vaccines, Art Workshops, and Improv-aganza: A Santa Fe Local Update
    Jan 8 2026
    Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Thursday, January 8, 2026.

    Santa Fe is waking up under crisp winter skies, and there is a lot happening around town today and into the weekend, so let’s dive in.

    We start with a statewide story that affects families here in Santa Fe. The New Mexico Department of Health has announced it will keep recommending the full schedule of childhood vaccines, even after federal health officials scaled back their national guidelines. State leaders say the federal change is not based on new science and emphasize that vaccines remain safe, effective, and fully covered through Medicaid and the Vaccines for Children program. Parents are being encouraged to talk with their pediatrician and follow the American Academy of Pediatrics schedule, so if you have little ones, you can expect business as usual at your local clinic.

    Now, if you are looking for things to do, this week is rich with art, culture, and hands-on fun. SITE Santa Fe is in the middle of its 12th International exhibition, Once Within a Time, running through January 12, bringing contemporary art and experimental work to the Railyard district. It is a great excuse to bundle up, grab a coffee, and wander the galleries. Nearby, local studios are leaning into creativity with events like the 3D Succulent Workshop at TLC Stained Glass, continuing through March for anyone who wants to learn glasswork and leave with a little piece of living room art.

    Families have solid options today. At the Southside branch of the Santa Fe Public Library, midday programming includes events like an animal meet and greet, perfect for kids who love getting up close to critters. Just down the road, the Santa Fe Children’s Museum is hosting a wheel-throwing pottery experience early this afternoon, letting kids literally get their hands dirty and maybe discover their inner ceramicist. Later in the evening, the library’s Pajama Storytime invites children to show up in their comfiest PJs for stories in both English and Spanish, a cozy way to wind down the day and keep reading front and center.

    If you are in the mood for nightlife, La Fonda on the Plaza is keeping the energy high with ongoing salsa lessons and live music. It is a chance to learn a few new steps, support local musicians, and enjoy one of Santa Fe’s classic downtown venues.

    And for a laugh to shake off the winter chill, Thin Air Improv’s January Improv‑aganza brings together some of Santa Fe’s funniest improvisers for an hour of unscripted comedy, a reminder that live performance here is as vibrant as our art scene.

    That is the pulse of Santa Fe today, from public health decisions shaping family life to a full menu of art, learning, and local entertainment.

    This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Santa Fe's Snowcapped Culture: Slopes, Lights, and Lively Flamenco

    Santa Fe's Snowcapped Culture: Slopes, Lights, and Lively Flamenco
    Dec 28 2025
    Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for today.

    Santa Fe is easing into the last days of the year with that perfect mix of quiet snow country vibe and big city culture, so let’s get you set up with things to do.

    If you are heading up the mountain, Ski Santa Fe is operating 9 to 4 with lodges, rentals, coffee bar, and mid mountain Totemoff’s all open, so you can get in a full day of runs and still warm up with something hot between laps. The Snow Sports School and Chipmunk Corner are both teaching, making it a good day to put visiting friends or kids into a lesson and then sneak off to your own favorite terrain up high.

    Back in town, the holidays are still glowing. La Luz de las Noches at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden continues to turn the garden into a river of farolitos and light, with music, hot drinks, local art, and Santa appearances making it a family friendly evening walk under the stars. Over on the Plaza, the long running Holiday Tree and Train display keeps model trains circling through tiny winter villages, a nostalgic stop if you need a break from shopping.

    This afternoon and evening, flamenco takes center stage. Holiday Flamenco 2025, Holiday in Santa Fe, at Teatro Paraguas offers shows at 2 and 7, blending carols with the pulse of guitar, song, and dance, featuring local flamenco students alongside the main company for a very Santa Fe take on the season.

    If you are looking for more low key daytime wandering, the Railyard Artisan Market is open with local makers, art, and food, and El Mercado del Museo adds even more handcrafted goods, turning the Railyard corridor into a good one stop stroll for late gifts or just browsing.

    Tonight, keep an eye on the Lensic, where Santa Fe favorites regularly share the stage with the Symphony, and on local lounges like La Fiesta at La Fonda, which leans into live Latin sounds midweek and becomes a hub for visitors and locals swapping ski stories and road trip plans.

    As you plan today, remember that some regional businesses are in flux. Around the state, Bosque Brewing’s taprooms are closing following a bankruptcy dismissal, a reminder of how even well loved New Mexico brands can feel economic pressure and how much local spending shapes what survives into the new year.

    Cold air, warm lights, and plenty of culture mean you can pick your pace today, from carving turns above the clouds to catching a late night show in town.

    This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Santa Fe Sparkles with Outdoor Adventures, Art Scenes, and Legal Battles for the People

    Santa Fe Sparkles with Outdoor Adventures, Art Scenes, and Legal Battles for the People
    Dec 27 2025
    Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for December 27, 2025. Kick off your Saturday with a burst of holiday spirit as Santa Fe shakes off the record-breaking warm Christmas weather that had folks ditching coats for park playdates just days ago. While Albuquerque hit 64 degrees on Thursday, smashing a 70-year-old mark, our local temps are cooling today with a chance of light snow in the Sangre de Cristos, perfect for fresh turns at Ski Santa Fe where 27 trails are open thanks to man-made snow and an 18-inch base. General Manager Ben Abruzzo says its business as usual for a low-snow December, drawing about 2,000 skiers over the holiday who turned warmth into opportunity.[1][3]

    Shifting to action in the courts, New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez is making waves with two big lawsuits protecting our wallets and land. He joined nearly two dozen states suing the Trump administration for trying to defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the agency thats returned 21 billion dollars to folks ripped off since the 2008 crash. Torrez calls it reckless, warning it leaves families defenseless against scams without that vital data and firepower. Separately, hes targeting three Texas operators in Santa Fe court for a sneaky scheme stripping profits from hundreds of our oil and gas wells while dumping cleanup costs on New Mexico taxpayers, risking health and environment from unplugged sites. These fights mean real safeguards for everyday New Mexicans against big players gaming the system.[3]

    For fun today, dive into the arts at the Santa Fe Railyard where the Artists Market buzzes with fine art and handcrafted treasures under the winter sun. Head to Teatro Paraguas for Holiday Flamenco 2025, an enchanting show blending passion and holiday cheer right here in town. Catch live tunes from the Pat Malone Trio or Silver Sky Blues Band, shake it at Bellyreena Dance Class, or ponder moves at Chess at the Mall. Families can wander El Mercado Del Museo for local flavors, or immerse in Meow Wolfs House of Eternal Return for mind-bending wonder. At the Center for Contemporary Arts, Gremlins screens add festive frights through tomorrow. These spots turn ordinary Saturdays into memorable escapes, fueling our creative soul.[2][4][6][8][9]

    As we near New Years, look ahead to state park First Day Hikes like polar plunges at Eagle Nest Lake, building community resilience in our stunning landscapes. Stay warm, shop local, and connect the dots from policy battles to cultural highs thats what keeps Santa Fe thriving. This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Santa Fe's Festive Traditions, Immersive Arts, and Creative Spaces This Holiday Season

    Santa Fe's Festive Traditions, Immersive Arts, and Creative Spaces This Holiday Season
    Dec 25 2025
    Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for today.

    Santa Fe is waking up in full holiday mode, and while a lot of offices and government services are taking the day off, there is still plenty of magic around town if you are ready to get out of the house. New Mexico courts and most public offices are closed today for the holiday, so if you had paperwork or a hearing on your to do list, that will have to wait for another day.

    If you are looking for something festive and low key, the beloved Holiday Tree and Train Display at First National 1870 on Cerrillos Road is in the middle of its seasonal run. This tradition dates back more than 70 years, with model trains circling snowy villages, tiny skaters on a winter rink, and even a Frosty the Snowman train winding through the scene. Members of the Santa Fe Model Railroad Club are usually on hand during weekday hours to talk trains and answer questions, making it a fun stop for kids and anyone who grew up watching Lionel sets circle the tree.

    For families craving a bigger sensory adventure, Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return continues to be one of the busiest tickets in town. The immersive art experience is a good way to burn off some cabin fever, with children and visiting relatives alike wandering through glowing portals, secret passages, and surreal storylines that feel a world away from leftover tamales in the fridge.

    If you are thinking beyond today and planning the rest of your holiday week, keep an eye on La Luz de las Noches at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, where farolitos, light displays, and live local music are turning wintry evenings into date nights and family outings. Music lovers can look ahead to upcoming shows like Max Gomez at Tumbleroot, Holiday Flamenco 2025 at Teatro Paraguas, and the high energy Latin sounds of Nosotros with the Santa Fe Symphony, all stacking the calendar between now and the New Year with reasons to stay out after dark.

    And in local development news, a former Joann Fabrics building on the south side is being transformed into about two dozen affordable artist studios through a new partnership with the nonprofit Vital Spaces. That project aims to keep Santa Fe’s creative community working and visible, even as rents rise, and it could become a new hub for emerging painters, sculptors, and makers in 2026.

    Whether you are staying cozy at home or heading out to explore, travel safely, check holiday hours before you go, and enjoy the quieter side of Santa Fe today.

    This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
