Interviews Concerts Exhibitions Roundtables Stand Up Art Tours VIP Dinners

What makes Santa Fe the Creative Capital of America? Well, let us show you. The Santa Fe Magazine Festival is an exhilarating three-day celebration promising exclusive interviews, lectures, and intimate conversations with actors, poets, iconoclasts, directors, chefs, scientists, writers, thinkers, painters, rule breakers, decision makers, and anyone else who contributes to what makes Santa Fe one of the most unique and culturally rewarding cities in the country.

Experience all of this in Santa Fe’s most enchanting venues, mainly the legendary campus of St. John’s College — designed by John Gaw Meem in a mid-century version of Territorial style design and tucked away in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains just minutes from downtown. Other venues include the Vladem Artist Studio, Reunity Regenerative Farms, and MEA's Sunmount Campus Chapel.

Like the magazine itself, this festival promises a bold, surprising, and wildly eclectic lineup of visionaries, artists, and trailblazers who embody the spirit of our town.
