Santa Fe Is Blowing Out 400 Candles On Its Birthday Cake

July 22, 2009 at 3:49 PM | by | Comments (0)

Santa Fe is blowing out an environmentally irresponsible number of candles this year: New Mexico's capital turns 400 with a sixteen-month-long party. That's going to be one heck of a hangover brunch!

The celebration kicks off September 5-7 with concerts like Ozomatli (Sept. 5, $25) and Santa Fe Symphony's Symphony Under The Stars show at Ft. Marcy Ball Field with fireworks to follow (Sept. 6, $12 for "picnic tickets" that let you sit on the grass). There will also be free cultural demonstrations, an open-air art market and cooking tutorials that weekend at the park as part of the ¡Viva! Santa Fe festival.

Then, for even more al fresco partying, the New Mexico State Fair begins the week after in Albuquerque, in case you're not all faired out.
