SUMMARY:Abiquiu Studio Tour 2026 - 10 to 12 October
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 10 to Monday 12 October 2026. The one weekend of the
  year when the village's artists throw open their studios and the Chama 
 River Valley becomes a self-guided driving tour. You drive between the s

 em directly rather than through a gallery. Most studios are open on the 
 Saturday and Sunday\, with a smaller number open on the Monday.

SUMMARY:Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta 2026 - 3 to 11 October
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 3 to Sunday 11 October 2026. The largest balloon gat
 hering in the world: hundreds of balloons lifting off at dawn from Ballo

  dawn launches need an early start and the park is roughly two and a hal
 f to three hours from Abiquiu - a long day\, but the state's headline Oc
 tober spectacle.

 s - national park and forest offices included - close while most shops a
 nd restaurants in Abiquiu\, Española and Santa Fe stay open. It is the s

 he month.

SUMMARY:Santa Fe Farolito Walk - Christmas Eve\, from dusk
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 24 December 2026. The Christmas Eve walk along Canyo
 n Road in Santa Fe\, when thousands of farolitos are lit along the adobe
  walls and the galleries stay open late. It is a tradition rather than a
  ticketed event and it has no fixed published hours: the lights go on at
  dusk\, and the sources disagree about when the evening winds down\, so 
 we print no closing time. Confirm the arrangements locally before you se
 t out.

SUMMARY:New Year's Eve - 31 December 2026
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 31 December 2026. The last night of the year\, and t
 he start of a long weekend: 1 January falls on a Friday. No organised vi
 llage programme had been published when we checked\, so treat this as th
 e date rather than an event. Santa Fe and Albuquerque list their own New
  Year programmes closer to the night\, and restaurants that open for it 
 are usually booked out days in advance.
