43rd Challenge New Mexico Arts and Crafts Festival
43rd Challenge New Mexico Arts and Crafts Festival
This Arts and Crafts Festival has something for everyone! With over 150 vendors exhibiting and selling their work at this festival, you will get a taste of authentic art in numerous styles and media. From fine art to photography, jewelry to clothing, sculpting to metal work and pottery, just to name a few, the festival offers you a chance to browse a little bit of everything – all in one place.
Everything is handcrafted! Are you looking for a unique souvenir to take home? Or an original piece of art to spark attention? Perhaps you want something functional and high quality that supports a local artist? Each artist accepted to the Festival is ONLY selling items that they have crafted themselves. You have a chance to speak with each artisan about his or her work.
It’s for a GREAT cause! A visit to this festival directly supports the Challenge New Mexico Therapeutic Horseback Riding Program. By supporting these artists, you are helping ensure that the CNM Ranch can continue to provide services to the special needs community of Santa Fe and all of Northern New Mexico.

Rancho Jacona
Escape to the glorious New Mexico countryside at this guest ranch, with 12 vacation rental casitas on a 17th-century estancia, or homestead. Located just 15 miles northwest of Santa Fe on the road to Los Alamos, 20 minutes from downtown Santa Fe, Rancho Jacona is a peaceful retreat. Your casita features rustic viga ceilings, a kiva fireplace and other elements of New Mexico style. Stay for a few days or for a while, as lodging includes well-equipped kitchens and laundry facilities.
Santa Fe KOA Holiday
Relax and enjoy the southwestern charm of the Santa Fe KOA Holiday while you take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The Santa Fe KOA Holiday is a clean, safe, highly amenitized, family-friendly RV park that is the perfect place to slow down, read a book, sit by the campfire, toast a marshmallow (or two) and just relax. It is also the perfect place to be adventurous and explore all that Santa Fe and the areas have to offer. The local cuisine is spicy and flavorful - you won't want to miss it!
