298th FIESTA DE SANTA FE
September 4-12, 2010
www.santafefiesta.org/
"The cry of 'Viva la Fiesta' has been reverberating through the streets of Old Santa Fe every autumn for 298 years. The sound generates a curious blend of thanksgiving, revelry and pride in the hearts of Santa Feans who celebrate Fiesta annually to commemorate Don Diego De Vargas' peaceful reoccupation of the City of Holy Faith in 1692." --History of Fiesta, www.santafefiesta.org
Join New Mexicans in an extravaganza of art, dance, music and merriment. El Rey Inn is a perfect location for your visit during Fiesta, close to the festivities yet a peaceful retreat from the crowds.
Some of our favorite fiesta highlights include the Fiesta Fine Arts and Crafts Market, September 4-6th from 8 am to 6 pm on the Santa Fe Plaza, and the musical events held at the Santa Fe Opera in conjunction with Fiesta. See the up-to-date Schedule of Events on the detailed Fiesta website.
And did we mention ZOZOBRA?! The feared and favorite “puppet” first created by Will Shuster will burn on Thursday, September 9th. For complete information on our fiery friend, refer to www.zozobra.com
