This is the weekend of the annual Santa Fe Indian Market when the Indians bring their various arts and crafts for sale.  People come from all over the world to buy directly from the artists.  It's so much fun and the best place ever to people watch.  Its hot this weekend with temps in the 90s in Santa Fe, although, it's 9,000 ft in altitude, right at the foot of the beautiful Sangre de Christo Mountains.

 

Here's a photo taken this morning.  All of the white rectangles are the tents where the artists have their work displayed.

@Kachina624    Wow, I would bet the Native American crafts are just beautiful.  I will let my wanderlust son know about this next time he heads out West.  Is it the same time every year?

@bmorechick.  Yes, every August.  Can you imagine the extravagant jewelry shopping one could do?  You see the best of the best represented.

@Kachina624 

 

Are you attending Indian Msrket?

 

I used to travel there for the colonial arts market, I think it was in late July. Went 2 or 3 times but it was much smaller than this one it looks like.

 

Love Santa Fe, "the city different."

@Kachina624   Oh ok!  He would enjoy that.  This past trip, he visited the Salton Sea.  He said it was one unique spot.

I have visited Santa Fe several times, and it's one of my favorite places!  I went to the open-air Santa Fe opera once, and it was the most beautiful setting. 

 

A beautiful and welcoming city. I have always shopped the marketplace on the visit, but this larger scale I have never seen. Wow!

@AZfem.  Due to mobility issues, I can no longer stand and walk as much as this requires.  Makes me very sad.

 

I wish everyone could attend.  It's a once in a lifetime experience....the crafts, the food, the city, the culture.

@Kachina624 I have never gotten the opportunity to visit Santa Fe, though it is on my Bucket List. I'm afraid I would spend a small fortune during this event...though I'm sure even 'window' shopping would be fantastic!
