SANTA FE PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVALS
CELEBRATING SANTA FE's 400th ANNIVERSARY©
August 2-9, 2010
Established as the capital of New Mexico by the Spanish Governor
in 1610 while still part of the empire of New Spain, Santa Fe quickly
became the hub of commerce between the region and Mexico.
Spanish military and officials as well as Franciscan missionaries
settled in the region, often in conflict with the Pueblo Indians whose
population at the time was close to 100,000 people who spoke nine
languages and who lived in an estimated 70 pueblos, many of which
exist today, providing a glimpse into their culture and way of life.
NOTE: The dates of this Tour coincide with Santa Fe's 2010 Summer
Performing Arts Season, including the Santa Fe Desert Chorale Summer
Festival, the Santa Fe Opera Season, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival,
and the Maria Benitez Teatro Flamenco.
