A storied Festival location.

The Festival debuts at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, a LEED-certified green building in the heart of the capital’s historic downtown. The Tewa-speaking people who occupied the area beginning in the thirteenth century, many of whose descendants now live at Tesuque Pueblo, called these homelands the “Dancing Ground of the Sun.” Later, Spanish and Mexican inhabitants and American soldiers established seats of government and military operations in the area, including the 1610 Palace of the Governors. While in residence there, Territorial Governor Lew Wallace completed his 1880 book Ben-Hur, one of the most popular novels in history.

Getting to Santa Fe.

Out-of-town festivalgoers can fly into Albuquerque International Sunport (a one-hour drive) or the smaller Santa Fe Regional Airport.
