The Fiesta de Santa Fe began with a City Council Proclamation of 1712 made to commemorate the peaceful resettlement of Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1692. The document proclaimed the Fiesta was to be celebrated in perpetuity. Fiesta begins at Noon on Friday, September 10th and is opened officially by the State and City on our Historic Plaza. Now after nearly 300 years, the cultural traditions of music, dance and song are about to come alive for three days to celebrate our 298th year of hospitality and acceptance of our rich and diverse cultural and spiritual heritage. When Fiesta begins, everything else stops. The Fiesta ends with a Mass of Thanksgiving and Candlelight Procession on Sunday evening, September 12th.
