Join us for New Mexico’s largest fiber art showcase! Fall Fiber Fiesta will be in person this year at our usual location: The Scottish Rite Temple, 463 Paseo de Peralta, Santa Fe.

This is the 12th annual Fall Fiber Fiesta. This event is sponsored by The Española Valley Fiber Art Center with support from NMArts and the Scottish Rite Temple. We use all funds from booth fees for advertising, space rental, and catering for this event. There are well over 1000 visitors to this event over the 3 day weekend. This is New Mexico’s Largest Fiber Art Showcase, expect a busy and productive weekend!

You will need to have access to your own smartphone, or tablet (ipad/chromebook/etc) to use a Square card reader or take venmo payments. Please visit the Square Website Here to obtain your free card reader if you do not yet have one. Sign up for Venmo here: Venmo. Free WiFi is available at the Scottish Rite Temple.
