Two evenings of remembrance and celebration fill the historic Santa Fe Plaza as the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe and the City of Santa Fe present the fifth annual Día de los Muertos, a free community event open to everyone. Music highlights include Rob Martinez, Tíos Míos, Flor de Toloache, who are Latin GRAMMY winners, and Nosotros. Community activities include adorning the ofrenda and free glow-in-the-dark face painting. Ballet Folklorico Santa Fe, Teatro Paraguas, and Las Catrinas take the stage, followed by a screening of the film Coco on two big screens, a traditional Mexika Azteca blessing, and a glow-in-the-dark candlelight parade with the mojigangas. The festivities also feature Man Boy Brown with Raul Pacheco of GRAMMY winners Ozomatli. New this year, Route 66 turns 100 and classic cars will roll into the Plaza to mark the milestone and its early path through Santa Fe. Guests may honor someone they have lost by making a donation of any amount to add a photo, name, and short message to the digital ofrenda above the Plaza on both nights. Suggested donation levels are 20, 50, and 100 dollars, and contributions are tax-deductible. For comfort, bring a chair or blanket for the film and dress warmly, since nights in Santa Fe can be cold. There is no event parking, so plan to use downtown garages and walk.

Basic studio gear is available to use, including easels, brushes, aprons, water buckets, paper towels, and palette knives. Many participants bring their own materials, and select supplies can be purchased on site, such as acrylic paint for $5 and 11 x 14 stretched canvases for $5. The cost to attend is $5.

Spanish guitarist Diego García offers an intimate solo recital that traces the backroads of Spain, Latin America, and the United States. Rooted in Spanish tradition and shaped by years of travel, his set moves from subtle Latin rhythms to reflective, cinematic melodies, balancing elegance with earthiness. Performed alone on one guitar, each piece carries the imprint of landscapes, cultures, and moments gathered along the way, creating a focused, immersive listening experience where the music speaks almost without words. The program includes music from The Brooklyn Session, Argentina Songbook, Carreteras Secundarias Vol. 1 and 2, and selections from Panamerica, along with original, unreleased material. Internationally known as Twanguero and a Latin Grammy winner, García blends Spanish folk, Latin American rhythms, and American roots into a sound that is distinctly his. This concert welcomes guitar lovers, world music audiences, and anyone who enjoys attentive listening, and it is open to all ages.

Jay Webb performs at Meow Wolf with Caitlynne Curtis. Webb channels a turbulent upbringing into candid, hard hitting songs that fuse raw storytelling with a sound that resists strict genre lines. He began recording in high school and grew his audience independently, drawing on the gravitas of Johnny Cash and Hank Williams alongside the modern edge of Juice WRLD and Post Malone. A TikTok breakout in 2022 broadened his reach, resulting in hundreds of millions of streams and a fan base numbering in the millions. Caitlynne Curtis delivers a country pop blend marked by powerful vocals and emotional narratives. She started young with voice lessons, persevered through early setbacks including a rejection from The X Factor, and balanced music with motherhood. Sharing originals and covers online helped reignite her career, which accelerated after signing with Angels & Outlaws, led by Struggle Jennings, and collaborating on God We Need You Now. Releases like You Need Jesus, Where You Left Off, Black Widow, and Amen highlight her mix of heartfelt country roots and modern pop energy. This all ages show is standing room only. Advance tickets are $25 plus fees, with day of pricing at $30 plus fees. For ticketing support, call 1-866-636-9969. Parking is available at the venue and alcohol will be served.
