Indigenous Peoples' Day Celebration – Museum Of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA), 2026

About this event

The Indigenous Peoples' Day Celebration in Santa Fe marks a city-wide recognition of Native American culture and history. In 2016, the Mayor of Santa Fe introduced a resolution, passed unanimously by the Governing Body, proclaiming Columbus Day to be additionally known as Indigenous Peoples Day in Santa Fe. The celebration brings together several Native American Tribes to share their culture and community with the public. Programming typically spans the weekend with traditional dances, musical performances, and community events on the historic Santa Fe Plaza. On the Monday holiday itself, events usually shift to the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA) and MoCNA's Art Park, offering a dedicated space for contemporary Indigenous expression and performance art.
