One of the highlight events of the year is the weekend of the Santa Fe Indian Market in New Mexico. Informally, it’s known as the Native America’s New York Fashion Show where the creative minds meet to showcase their work. From jewelry to apparel, music to Indigenous film and TV, more than 100,000 people show up ready to brave the heat in fashion, listen to the latest music, fill up their shopping bags, and network.
The 101st Santa Fe Indian Market begins Friday and continues through Sunday. The schedule of events associated with the market is here. The event begins with a best of show ceremony on Friday, with a free public market from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
ICT will be in Santa Fe to cover the festivities. Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and on the ICT website.
