Spanish Market

Santa Fe's Spanish Market pays tribute to traditional Spanish Colonial arts and culture, with several hundred artists selling santos and bultos (wooden carved and painted images of saints), handmade furniture, colcha (straw ornaments), jewelry, weavings and more. Held on the Santa Fe Plaza, the market includes food, live music and dance performances, book signings and more.

A contemporary market takes place at the same time, with artists offering their modern takes on traditional Spanish Colonial art. This year's 61th annual Traditional Spanish Market takes place July 27-29. For more info, visit http://www.spanishcolonial.org/market.php.

The Spanish Market also holds a Winter Market December 3-4 at the Santa Fe Convention Center featuring more than 80 artists. This is a great place to find unique holiday presents.
