Holiday Traditions in Santa Fe

  • The Glow of Farolitos

    Farolitos have illuminated New Mexico’s holiday season for generations. Traditionally made by placing a candle inside a small paper bag weighted with sand, they trace their local roots to the late 19th century.

  • Christmas Eve on Canyon Road

    Home to more than 80 galleries, boutiques and historic adobe buildings, Canyon Road is the heart of Santa Fe’s celebrated arts district. On Christmas Eve, the storied lane glows with thousands of farolitos and piñon bonfires as carolers, neighbors and visitors gather for one of the city’s most cherished holiday traditions.

  • A Midnight Gathering

    For many, Christmas Eve culminates with Midnight Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. Set in the heart of downtown Santa Fe, the late-night service offers a meaningful and memorable expression of the city’s deep-rooted faith and heritage.
