Season of Events – 2026

Spring Runoff

We’re excited to announce that ArtWalk Santa Fe is partnering with Santa Fe Brewing Company for the very first time for Spring Runoff — May 2, 2026 from 12:00pm-9:00pm (vendors until 7:00pm).

While we collaborate with SFBC on multiple events throughout the year, this marks our debut teaming up for their iconic spring celebration. Expect local artists, great beer, community energy, and the collective support of outdoor recreation in New Mexico that makes this spring bash so special.

This event is particularly renowned for having an epic raffle with amazing prizes. This year the event will also feature ArtWalk Santa Fe vendors in addition to the typical outdoor activities like axe throwing, climbing walls, and much more.

For those of you that experienced last year’s wind, please note the later date! Don’t we all love NM weather?

Baca Block Party

ArtWalk is thrilled to co-host the second annual Baca Block Party — May 30, 2026.

This event is possible with the help of Railyard Santa Fe and Lensic 360, who bring all the show-stopping action. ArtWalk Santa Fe partners with the Railyard twice in 2026 across two distinct locations, and this event uniquely activates the Baca Railyard by closing Flagman Way (near Cafecito & Counter Culture) to create a walkable, high-energy art and community experience.

Expect local artist vendors, live musical entertainment, space to dance your heart out, and uncovering neighborhood businesses in a vibrant atmosphere that highlights one of Santa Fe’s most creative districts.

It’s rare in Santa Fe that we get to shut down a whole street and have a full on ArtWalk. This is a one-of-a-kind spring fest, don’t miss it!

Parking is very limited! Plan to carpool, bike, walk, and take public transit.

ArtWalk at MoCNA

We can’t wait to return for ArtWalk at MoCNA — June 20, 2026 from 11:00am – 4:00pm.

This summer with IAIA MoCNA marks our third year hosting this downtown celebration at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, right on the Santa Fe Plaza across from the Cathedral, La Fonda, and The Shed. The annual gathering brings together 20+ local artists and makers — including talented IAIA students — for an afternoon of art, community, and creativity in one of the city’s most iconic settings.

Enjoy free museum access during the event, explore the artist market, and take advantage of the many delicious food options around the Plaza. Music will be playing to keep the energy flowing, and keep an eye out for special performances by local hoop dancers as the afternoon unfolds.

ArtWalk Santa Fe partnering for this annual event with MoCNA is one of our favorite ways to celebrate creativity in the heart of Santa Fe.

Rufina Block Party

We can’t wait to bring back the Rufina Block Party — July 18, 2026.

This summer with Paseo Pottery and Tumbleroot marks our fifth year co‑hosting this celebration of St. Rufina — the patron saint of potters. The annual festive block party activates the Rufina/Siler neighborhood with local artists, makers, live music, drinks, pottery demos, fun hands‑on activities, and community energy around Paseo Pottery and Tumbleroot.

Expect delicious food from MANKO and more to be announced soon. Groove to tunes by DJ Earway and spend some time in the sun experiencing what summer is all about!

ArtWalk Santa Fe partners with these beloved local institutions for multiple events throughout the year, and this annual bash is one of the most joyful ways we celebrate creativity in Santa Fe. Expect community partners like MAKE Santa Fe, Meow Wolf, and TLC Stained glass to make special appearances (with fun things to do).

Olive Rush ArtWalk

For our second year we’re partnering to bring back Olive Rush ArtWalk with Canyon Road Summer Walk on September 9, 2026.

In tandem with the Canyon Road Summer Walk series, a highlight of the downtown art season, Olive Rush Studio & Art Center is hosting ArtWalk Santa Fe for a third time. The walkable lush garden full of artists and a tour of the historic museum make for the perfect stop during your evening stroll.

Set along iconic Canyon Road — home to one of the nation’s most concentrated art districts — this event pairs ArtWalk Santa Fe’s emerging artists with one of the busiest, most walkable streets in Santa Fe, offering art lovers an unforgettable evening of new art, renowned galleries, timely installations, and true summer vibes.

Be prepared to walk, wear sunscreen, bring your friends, and have a blast! Food vendors, beverage carts, musical acts, pop-up art activities, and basically everyone you know — see you there!

Route 66 Centennial Fest

We’re excited to return to the Route 66 Fest at the Santa Fe Railyard — October 3, 2026.

We’re back for our second year co-hosting the artisan vendor experience. After participating in the festival last year, ArtWalk Santa Fe is thrilled to once again bring local artists and makers into this high-energy party!

Artwalk vendors are only present on day ONE of this two-day celebration filled with live music, food, classic cars, and community — creating new opportunities to connect with car enthusiasts, visitors, and locals alike. Don’t miss out!

This collaboration continues to expand our reach into new audiences while celebrating creativity in one of Santa Fe’s most dynamic cultural hubs. The proximity to downtown opens up options for food, entertainment, and community connection.

Oktoberfiesta

Celebrate fall the Santa Fe way with ArtWalk Santa Fe’s sixth annual collaboration of Oktoberfiesta with Santa Fe Brewing Company — October 17, 2026.

This lively outdoor festival blends local art, creative vendors, great food, live music, and plenty of bier for a full day of community fun! This event is a fall staple and it’s the right time to bring your flair.

We have yet to announce the contest lineup, but past years have boasted tests of strength through stein holding contests, of courage through yodeling trials, and of fortitude in the brat eating showdown.

Guests can enjoy fan-favorite contests alongside a curated marketplace of regional makers, creating an experience that’s equal parts cultural festival and neighborhood party. Oktoberfiesta has become a seasonal tradition that brings together locals and visitors to celebrate creativity, craft beer, and autumn in Northern New Mexico.

Shop Local Saturday

We’re back with our one‑stop holiday market co‑hosted with Tumbleroot Brewery & Distillery — Shop Local Saturday — November 28, 2026.

The holiday bash returns for its second year just in time for Small Business Saturday. This festive gathering transforms the taproom at Tumbleroot: Alegría on Agua Fria and its outdoor spaces into a lively marketplace of local artists, makers, and craft vendors, offering unique gifts, handcrafted goods, festive refreshments, and community cheer.

It’s the perfect alternative to Black Friday madness — support small businesses, find meaningful gifts, and soak in the holiday spirit with friends and neighbors. There’s free cider, cozy music, outdoor fires, and all your friends (because you’ll invite them, too)!

We call it a one-stop market because last year we had 70+ artisan vendors and we plan to expand this year and we’re working on getting better control of the weather. Please come by!
