Snow blanketing adobe walls, the glow of farolitos lining rooftops, and the scent of pinon wood burning in kiva fireplaces. Santa Fe in the winter is truly magical and the perfect setting for Ringing in the New Year into 2017.

Family Friendly Celebration on the Historic Plaza
Be part of the fun as the City Different says Adios to 2016 at the Second Annual New Year’s Eve on the Santa Fe Plaza.

The festivities begin at 8:45 p.m on December 31, 2016. with the Plaza warmed by cozy piñon bonfires scenting the night air with an unmistakably comforting New Mexican fragrance. Local musicians will appear on the Bandstand and The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe will provide hot chocolate and biscochitos (New Mexican Christmas cookies).

At 11:45 p.m. on December 31, 2016, Mayor Javier Gonzales and city officials will address the crowd and begin the countdown to a peaceful and prosperous new year. Please dress warmly and bundle up the kids for this uplifting and family-friendly tradition in America’s oldest capital city.
