Santa Fe July 4: Pancakes On The Plaza

 

Via Santa Fe Rotary Club

Pancakes on the Plaza is flipping back into action. Every Fourth of July, the heart of downtown fills with the smell of sizzling pancakes, the sparkle of classic cars, rows of amazing local art, and thousands of smiling faces. It is not just a breakfast — it is the way Northern New Mexico celebrates Independence Day. We are proud to announce that Pancakes on the Plaza will help deliver $200,000 in grants over the next two years to support Santa Fe nonprofits making a real difference.

When you buy a ticket, you are not just enjoying a plate of fluffy goodness — you are helping local families thrive, students succeed, and our whole community shine a little brighter. Pancakes on the Plaza is brought to you by the Rotary Club of Santa Fe — 80 Rotarians, over 300 volunteers, and a whole lot of heart. Thanks to your support and your big appetite, we are making a real impact. Eat pancakes. Have fun. Make a difference.

Join Us For The City Of Santa Fe 2023 COVID-19 Memorial Day

12 Noon Monday, March 6, 2023, On The Santa Fe Plaza

The City of Santa Fe warmly invites all community members to attend the 2023 COVID-19 Memorial Day at 12 p.m. on Monday, March 6, 2023, on the Santa Fe Plaza. 

In February 2021, the Governing Body unanimously adopted a resolution designating the first Monday in March as COVID-19 Memorial Day. This event is held to remember all who have passed away, fallen ill, or who continue to suffer from the impact of COVID-19, as well as to honor essential workers. 

Citywide, Santa Feans are urged to participate in the memorial by observing a moment of silence at 12 p.m., and by adding their voices or noise to a moment of appreciation for essential workers at 12:01 p.m. (ringing bells at houses of worship, honking car horns, rounds of applause, etc.)
