Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Saturday, February 1, 2025. It's a beautiful day in Santa Fe, with sunny intervals and a high of 50 degrees Fahrenheit, perfect for getting out and enjoying all the city has to offer.
First off, let's talk about a new ordinance that's taking effect today. Starting February 1, it will be illegal to sit, stand, or lie on medians narrower than 36 inches except to cross the street. This is part of the city's efforts to improve safety and accessibility for all residents and visitors[1].
But enough about rules and regulations. Today is also a day for community and celebration. The 29th annual Souper Bowl is happening at the Santa Fe Convention Center from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Join The Food Depot and 24 of Santa Fe's best restaurants for an afternoon of delicious soups, lively entertainment, and friendly competition. Every dollar raised provides four meals, so come hungry and ready to make a difference[2].
If you're looking for something a bit more low-key, why not check out the Santa Fe Farmers Market? It's happening every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1607 Paseo De Peralta. You can browse fresh produce, handcrafted goods, and delicious treats while connecting with Northern New Mexico's farming community[5].
And for those interested in cultural festivities, Alkeme Heritage Cuisine restaurant is hosting a Lunar New Year Feast today, with seatings at 4:45 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Each course represents a traditional blessing, from prosperity to good health. It's a unique and delicious way to ring in the new year[5].
Looking ahead to the rest of the month, there are plenty of exciting events to look forward to. On February 7, the Downtown First Friday Art Walk will take over the historic museum district, featuring stunning artwork and creative inspiration. And on February 11, the Santa Fe School of Cooking will be hosting a Salsas Cooking Class & Tastings, where you can learn to make four unique salsas and enjoy some flavorful recipes[5].
Finally, don't forget to mark your calendars for the Santa Fe Film Festival, happening from February 21 to 23. Enjoy screenings, workshops, panels, and parties with industry professionals and film lovers[5].
