Friday, August 15th

5–10 PM

Under the open skies at the Santa Fe Railyard Water Tower, the 2025 IndigenousWays Festival kicks off with an evening of rhythm, spirit, and celebration. In collaboration with Lensic360, we invite you to join us for an unforgettable night where music fills the air, laughter weaves through vendor stalls, and the warmth of community surrounds us like a cherished melody.

The evening will be illuminated by the soul-stirring artistry of two-time Grammy Award-winner Robert Mirabal, whose voice and flute embody the spirit of the land. Experience the uplifting roots-reggae fusion of Innastate, the fierce and inspiring sounds of Grammy-recognized hip-hop artist G Precious, the breathtaking vocals of Radmilla Cody, blending beauty, strength, and tradition, and the raw, poetic energy of Def-I, whose words connect generations and worlds.

Beyond the stage, immerse yourself in a vibrant marketplace featuring local artisans, treat your taste buds to delicious offerings from food trucks, and enjoy activities designed for all ages. This is an evening to honor our roots, celebrate our identities, and embrace the journey ahead—together.

Come dance, connect, and be part of the story.
