The Santa Fe Renaissance Fair is a community event and official part of Santa Fe's quatrocentario celebration, with the proceeds benefitting Open Hands and El Rancho de las Golondrinas.
The idyllic site, El Rancho de las Golondrinas, is a Spanish colonial outdoor living history museum, with 200 acres of historical recreations, including working gristmills, a blacksmith, a wheelwright and many other outstanding attractions to discover!
Open Hands is a Santa Fe based charity, helping elderly, disabled and economically disadvantaged New Mexicans to live with dignity since 1977. Funds raised from this event will help support both organizations to continue to offer their many community services.
