Canyon Road Friday night art crawl...

On many evenings throughout the year, especially Friday, Santa Fe’s streets sparkle with art gallery openings, a tradition both visitors and locals enjoy. Art lovers leisurely amble the streets, stopping to sip wine, admire new artwork, and chat with the creators. 

Different districts have specific Friday openings each month: Discover Lincoln Avenue and West Palace Avenue on 1st Friday; Canyon Road every Friday, from May through October; Railyard District on the last Friday; and, Delgado Street every 4th Friday!

Christmas Eve in Santa Fe...

"On Christmas Eve, the town gathers on historic Canyon Road, home to many of the city’s over 200 galleries, some shops and a few restaurants. The street is closed to traffic, thousands walk up and down the road greeting friends, spontaneously breaking into song and enjoying the luminarias (piñon wood bonfires) burning along the street. People stop to warm their hands, farolitos burn merrily in paper bags along the way. The street is ablaze with thousands of fairy lights. It feels like the whole city has turned out for the festivities. Some shops and galleries stay open. Hot chocolate, cider and cookies are offered along the way by merchants and others sharing the holiday spirit. A white Christmas makes the scene seems even more magical."
