New Year’s Eve in the Santa Fe Plaza

The fifth edition of Santa Fe’s New Year’s Eve on the Plaza will be underway December 31st in the city’s centuries-old town square, which is just a stone’s throw from La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa.

It’s a lovely festival that draws together community members and out-of-town visitors alike. Things kick off at 8 PM as the Plaza warms up with heaters and crackling bonfires of piñon wood, the aroma of which summons the very essence of the Southwestern landscape. The Santa Fe Bandstand will come alive with music from a variety of performers: Sol Fire, Fun Adixx, Alex Maryol, and Chango.

Meanwhile, courtesy of the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe, there’ll be free hot chocolate on offer as well as New Mexico’s official (and delicious) state cookie, the bizcochito, plus a memorial banner upon which anyone can write goals, dreams, wishes, and other aspirations for the New Year (and the new decade!).

There’ll be a number of food trucks on hand to attend to appetites as revelers one and all enjoy the merry atmosphere, live entertainment, and beautifully decorated Plaza, a truly iconic city center.

The formal countdown to 2020’s grand entry will be launched at 11:45 PM by the mayor and other city officials. At the stroke of midnight, a traditional Zia symbol will be raised to the flashing extravagance of fireworks, and the crowd will sing “Auld Land Syne” and “Las Mañanitas.”

It’s a magical way to usher in the New Year, gathered together on the hallowed ground of the Santa Fe Plaza, heart of America’s oldest capital city for so many generations.

Labor Day is steadily marching nearer, a date that doesn’t merely herald the closing weeks of summer but, in our fair (and old) city of Santa Fe, New Mexico, also means one of the country’s most unique community rituals is fast approaching. This year marks the 94^th annual Burning of Zozobra, which goes down during the centuries-old Las Fiestas de Santa Fe on Friday, August 31^st at Fort Marcy Park just a hop, skip, and a jump from La Posada de Santa Fe.

“Must-see” is an overused descriptor, we admit, but it most definitely applies to this fiery night wherein good once again triumphs over evil. Come join us for the occasion, a touchstone of the Santa Fe cultural calendar!

Not too many American cities have a community festival that dates back better than three centuries, but Santa Fe certainly does, and it’s coming up in just a few weeks! We hope you’ll come take in the 306^th annual Fiesta de Santa Fe with luxurious resort lodgings here at La Posada de Santa Fe just a stone’s throw from the celebration.

Fiesta de Santa Fe

If you’ve done your mental calculations already, you’ll have figured out that the Santa Fe Fiesta’s roots go back all the way to 1712. That’s the year that the city organized a commemoration of Don Diego de Vargas’s successful retaking of Santa Fe from the indigenous Pueblo.
