Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Thursday, July 10th, 2025.
Santa Fe is waking up to a beautiful summer day, and there’s plenty to see, do, and talk about around town. The highlight on everyone’s calendar today is the opening of the 21st Annual International Folk Art Market at the Santa Fe Railyard. If you’ve never been, this globally acclaimed event brings more than 150 artists from 53 countries, transforming the Railyard into a kaleidoscope of colors and cultures. The Opening Night Celebration tonight features the instrumental band Khumariyaan from Pakistan, promising vibrant traditional folk blended with modern rhythms. Tickets are needed for tonight’s event, but the market continues through Sunday with everything from early bird shopping tomorrow to a festive night market on Saturday. Remember, Sunday is Community Day—admission is free, and kids always get in without charge. This is the world’s largest folk art market, right here in our backyard, so don’t miss your chance to support artisans and discover treasures from across the globe.
If you’re looking for something more hands-on this afternoon, head over to the Territorial Tour Thursdays at El Rancho de las Golondrinas. From one to three, you can tour the living history museum and dig into the rich stories of old New Mexico—a perfect way to connect with our region’s roots and have some fun with the family.
Art lovers should check out the new exhibit We Are The People by L. Scooter Morris at Aurelia Gallery, opening today. It’s a fresh perspective on community and identity, and a great stop for anyone downtown.
Meanwhile, nature enthusiasts can join daily guided tours at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, where you can stroll through native plants and enjoy summer blooms. Bring a picnic, catch live music later in the week, and let the beauty of the gardens set your mood for the season.
Looking beyond city limits, our neighbors in Ruidoso have been hit with devastating flash floods, the second disaster for the mountain village in just a year. Three lives have been lost, and dozens of homes damaged or destroyed. Folks in Santa Fe are already organizing support for those affected, showing once again how this region pulls together in tough times.
For those keeping an eye on wildfire conditions, the Laguna Fire north of State Road 96 is now 65 percent contained. Crews continue strategic work, and smoke levels are reported as good to moderate this morning, so outdoor plans in Santa Fe remain on track. As always, stay tuned for updates in case conditions change.
That’s just a taste of what’s happening around Santa Fe today. From world-class art to local history, garden strolls to community support, this city proves every day why it’s the City Different. This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
