SANTA FE

RAILYARD DISTRICT

The Santa Fe Railyard continues to be the City Different’s new hub of culture and activities. It includes the Farmers’ Market, a premium movie theater, shopping, restaurants, the museums and galleries of the Railyard Arts District, and a beautiful 20-acre urban park.

RAILYARD ARTS DISTRICT

Part of the Railyard Santa Fe, the Railyard Arts District is the city’s contemporary-art destination. With eight contemporary art galleries and two—soon to be three—museums, all within walking distance of each other, the Railyard Arts District is an art lover’s paradise. The final Friday of each month is the District’s Art Walk, with galleries open late with featured exhibitions. Visit santaferailyardartsdistrict.com for a complete list of galleries and events.

SANTA FE FARMERS’ MARKET

The Farmers’ Market is open yearround, but our favorite season is fall. Stroll through the market with a cup of coffee and maybe a fleece vest to ward off the morning chill, and experience the aroma of roasting green chiles and the final burst of produce before the season winds down.

Saturdays year-round, and Tuesdays through November 22, 8 AM–1 PM 1607 Paseo de Peralta santafefarmersmarket.com

SEED THE FUTURE 20TH ANNIVERSARY COMMUNITY CELEBRATION AND FUNDRAISER

This evening of dinner and entertainment in the Market Pavilion benefits the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market Institute, which in turn supports the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market’s efforts to make healthy, locally grown food easily accessible to the community. Farm-fresh, locally produced foods prepared by chef Estevan Garcia, jazz by the Bert Dalton Trio, and awards will celebrate our local farming community.

NUCKOLLS BREWING CO.

Early in the last century, what we now know as the Railyard was an industrial area with warehouses, railroad tracks, and commercial buildings. Among the last was the Nuckolls Packing Co., a meat-processing plant headquartered in Pueblo, Colorado. Their building, along with the rest of the area, had fallen into disrepair when the Santa Fe Railyard Community Corporation developed existing and new buildings along with an urban park, all of which opened in 2008. The 100-year-old Nuckolls building, one of the last to be restored and repurposed, will reopen in fall 2022 as the Nuckolls Brewing Co. With 64 New Mexico beers on tap, a 3,000-square-foot wraparound deck, a kitchen with a full menu, and a three-vat brewery on site, the venue is a much-anticipated addition to the Railyard’s mix of entertainment, galleries, and restaurants.

Outdoors will be a beer garden and community space with grass and an outdoor stage for movies, collaborative events, and live entertainment, with a pedestrian-scaled zone that blends with the existing businesses and the Farmers’ Market.

Nuckolls Lamy Railyard is already open in the historic train depot in Lamy, and features New Mexico craft beer, a full menu, and live entertainment. A 15-mile drive southwest of Santa Fe, Lamy is also accessible via Sky Railway and their lineup of excursions.
