Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Friday, April 4th, 2025.
The sun is shining on the City Different today, with highs expected around 46 degrees and lows dipping to 30 tonight. Perfect weather for some of the exciting events happening in town. Let’s dive right in.
First, don’t miss the Downtown First Friday Art Walk happening this evening. Stroll through the heart of the historic district and explore galleries showcasing a mix of classic Southwestern art and cutting-edge contemporary works. It’s a free event, offering a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in Santa Fe’s vibrant art scene while mingling with fellow art lovers.
For those craving adventure, today marks one of your final chances to hit the slopes at Ski Santa Fe, located just 16 miles from the plaza. The mountain’s season wraps up tomorrow, so grab your gear and head up for one last run down the snowy trails. Whether you're a seasoned skier or a snowboarding rookie, there’s something for everyone to enjoy before the season officially ends.
If you’re looking to slow things down while enjoying the outdoors, the City of Santa Fe Leisure Bike Ride Series offers a great way to explore the city’s scenic beauty. Join the ride from Fort Marcy this morning at 9 AM. It’s only $5, and you’ll get a bike, helmet, and a peaceful start to your day.
Art enthusiasts should also check out the ongoing exhibition at Zane Bennett Contemporary Art, “Rereading Geometric Abstraction.” This show reimagines classic patterns and traditions, blending Pueblo pottery and Cheyenne weaving into modern art forms. The exhibit runs until April 19, so plan your visit soon.
Need a new place to grab a drink or staycation? The Palace Modern, a boutique hotel that marries traditional Southwestern charm with contemporary design, has quietly become the talk of the town. Visit their onsite craft bar, ¡Salud!, or keep an eye out for their second-floor terrace bar opening this summer.
To cap off your day, head to the Railyard District tomorrow for the Santa Fe Artists Market. Running from 9 AM to 2 PM, it’s a treasure trove of local art, handmade jewelry, and crafts. Support local artisans while soaking up the energy of one of Santa Fe’s most dynamic areas.
That’s all for today! This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Have a wonderful day exploring the magic of our city!
