Twinkling holiday lights will lead you to at least two live performers each night and sweet holiday treats (non-alcoholic beverages and sweets are included in the price of admission). The festivities begin each night at 4:30 pm and conclude at 7:30 pm (last admission is at 7:00 pm). In this inaugural year of La Luz de las Noches, the Garden is pleased to highlight a number of Indigenous performers and artisans in acknowledgement that the land on which the Garden is sited is the ancestral homeland of the Tewa people.

Don’t miss the opening weekend when local distillery and botanical cocktail wizard, As Above So Below will offer a cash bar of wine and craft cocktails, including a special Garden signature drink for the event: “La Luz.” And as a special treat, award winning chef Rainbird Taylor (Ohkay Owingeh) and his YaPopup kitchen will be serving his distinctive Indigenous Soul Food that weekend (be sure to bring your credit/debit card – cash not accepted).

And we’ll have an exceptional musical lineup that weekend! Young Voices of Santa Fe Opera will greet visitors on Thursday and singer Esther Rose will perform in the Amphitheater tent. On Friday- Rachel Kelli, Violin Queen, performs in the Pavilion with Lightening Boy–ShanDien LaRance & Edwin Felter in the Amphitheater tent; Saturday- Vicente Griego + Revozo Flamenco dance in the Amphitheater tent and Los Ninos de Santa Fe perform in the Pavilion.

And be sure to stop by the Garden’s Visitor Center/Gift Shop to shop for those last-minute holiday gifts where we will be featuring a different Indigenous artist each night! (a valid ticket is required for admission to the Visitor Center/Gift Shop)

Psssttt … it’s a secret – Santa will be making a special appearance in the Henricksen Pavilion for just two nights only – Thursday, December 21st and Saturday, December 23rd, so bring the kids/grandkids!

Be sure to purchase your tickets early – La Luz de las Noches will be an experience that you will not want to miss this holiday season!
