Santa Fe International Folk Art Market

The Santa Fe International Folk Market is the largest event of its kind. It is an unparalleled gathering of the world's finest folk artists in which market goers will have a rare opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind pieces from 110-juried artists from 40 countries. Other festivities include colorful & lively entertainment by musicians & dancers from dozens of cultures. A wide variety of international foods will be served, & a multitude of activities including mask-and-headdress making will be open to visitors of all ages.

With the generous support of charitable foundations and private donors, an artists' training program, the Market's Trade buyers Showcase, and the profits earned through art sales during market weekend help the participating artists achieve economic sustainability while sharing and preserving their traditional cultures.
