Get ready to experience the Market magic, we’re thrilled to welcome you to the City Different (Santa Fe, New Mexico). We’re making it easy for New Mexico residents living in Los Lunas, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, and Bernalillo to visit IFAM. We’ve teamed up with the New Mexico Rail Runner Express commuter rail to offer you the official IFAM Add-On option to your entry-ticket purchase! Simply show your receipt at the nearest Rail Runner station and experience the gorgeous views of New Mexico like you’ve never seen before.

The best part? You arrive steps away from Railyard Park at the Santa Fe Depot, inside the Railyard District. You can also choose to disembark at the South Capitol station and catch a shuttle to the Market. The Rail Runner Express will also add more rides on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of IFAM 2024 week!

Thank you Rio Metro Regional Transit for your support and partnership to make this one of the easiest ways to get to the Market.

Ride Your Bike:

Our venue at Railyard Park is located right next to the Santa Fe Rail Trail, this is an extensive 15-mile trail that ends right at the Santa Fe Depot Station. Once you get to Market, you can check your bike in at our FREE Volunteer-run Bike Valet. The Bike Valet will be stationed on Paseo de Peralta near the former Warehouse 21 building.

Respecting the Community:

Please adhere to City rules and respect the surrounding neighborhoods. Do not park where there are “no parking” signs or where residential permits are required. You may be towed at your own expense.

Road Closures:

During Market hours, Paseo de Peralta will be closed between the intersections of S. Guadalupe St. and Camino de la Familia.

As an organization prioritizing sustainability, we are excited about the many opportunities to travel “lightly” to Market this year. Utilizing the Santa Fe Trails bus system, the Rail Runner train, the Santa Fe Rail Trail, IFAM’s Bike Valet, metered street parking, and a number of municipal lots, you have the opportunity to pick the easiest way for you to arrive at Market. However, if you choose to drive, you should plan some extra time to find parking.

IFAM’s Santa Fe Market venue, the 11-acre Railyard Park, is unique among urban greenspaces. Developed after hundreds of hours of public input, it is meant to be a model of environmental sustainability, community engagement and cultural enrichment. It is also one of the few public parks governed by a conservation easement, guaranteeing the area will remain an open gathering space in perpetuity.

As the Park’s official caretakers, the Railyard Park Conservancy (RPC) is committed to upholding the original community vision which created it, and the conservation easement which sustains it. In addition to overseeing all educational programming and public art in the Park, the RPC mobilizes more than 2,500 community volunteer hours annually to provide enhanced horticultural care of its diverse, drought-tolerant landscaping. The RPC also spearheads ongoing conservation efforts like a Healthy Soils Campaign and the Graze Days grassland restoration project to ensure the Park continues to thrive in the face of ongoing drought and climate change.

PATHWAYS PROTECT! In order to protect and support the Park’s sensitive ecosystem, the RPC requests that all market visitors stay on designated paths. Remember, if you’re not on path, you’re probably on a plant or an active restoration area. For more information, please stop by the RPC’s table at the market, or visit www.railyardpark.org.

Celebrate 20 years of IFAM!
