Santa Fe Indigenous Peoples' Day Weekend Celebration

October 7-9, 2023

Join Us for a Weekend Celebration of Culture and Communityǃ

Visitors from all over the world come to The City Different to experience authentic Native American art and culture throughout the year. On Santa Fe Indigenous Peoples' Day, we reserve the day to remember, honor and uphold our valued Native American neighbors from the 23 Tribes, Nations and Pueblos in New Mexico, our urban Indian citizens and all of the wonderful Native American arts, culture and educational institutions that give Santa Fe such a strong sense of place and make it one of the most popular travel destinations in the world.
