Join the New Mexico History Museum for a festive holiday event at the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe. "Holidays at the Palace," a cherished tradition since 1982, will take place on Friday, December 13, 2024, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event offers free admission and promises an evening filled with music, crafts, and community spirit.

Attendees can enjoy live performances by local musicians including Rachel Kelli on violin and David Dean on guitar. Other performers include Coro de Agua Fria, Schola Cantorum of Santa Fe’s Sacred Music Ensemble, Santa Fe Youth Symphony Association Quartet, and Santa Fe Talent Education’s Student Suzuki Violinists.

The evening will also feature a holiday craft activity with the Palace Press, a chance to meet Santa Claus, and refreshments like hot cider and cookies. Visitors are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for donation to support those in need.

The New Mexico History Museum will close at 3 p.m. on the day of the event to prepare for this community gathering.
