Gay Pride in Santa Fe

April 8, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

Gay Pride in Santa Fe is a highly celebrated event. In fact, it is spread over ten days with lots of fun usually beginning with the third weekend of June and ending on the  fourth weekend. There are events for all tastes. One of my most favorite Pride events is the Pride train to Lamy. It starts at the Santa Fe historic depot where you board an old freight train that is adorned in rainbow flags.

Once on board you can choose to ride in the vintage dome car, traditional passenger cars each equipped with a cash bar to purchase cocktails. For the more adventurous, you can stand outside on the cattle car as the train winds its way through Santa Fe before embracing the scenic countryside.

After swaying back and forth for just over an hour we debark in the little village of Lamy for an outdoor catered BBQ around a mini bonfire.  While dining on picnic tables, we enjoy listening to music from a live band before we board for our trip back to Santa Fe.

As we watch the sun set and the sky darken from the cattle car,  we wind our way through the countryside for our return trip. It is now you will notice that one of the cargo cars has been transformed into a dance club where disco music is blaring and you might even see a drag queen performing.

It is a great deal of fun to enjoy this gay train ride in the middle of nowhere full of Santa Fe Pride.

April 2, 2010 by · 8 Comments

Fast forward to the present. We are here! And we are queer! No longer feeling the need for secrecy, Friends of Dorothy gatherings have become a huge social network across the globe and its presence in Santa Fe is no different. The group meets once a month on Friday’s at 6pm onwards and is attended by 200 – 250 members of Santa Fe’s gay community.

It is hosted by a different venue each month including such places as Ecantado Resort, Las Posada, Inn and Spa at Loretto,  Santa Fe Capital Grill, Bishops Lodge Resort & Spa just to name a few. The hosting company generously supplies the group with an array of appetizers.

In the winter months we enjoy the warmth of the roaring fires inside while watching the snow gently fall on Santa Fe. During the summer months we gather outside sipping cocktails while watching the gorgeous Santa Fe sunsets magically appear before setting behind the mountains. Finally the clear night overhead gives way to millions of stars which is not to be missed.

Friends of Dorothy is a great opportunity to meet new friends, see old friends and connect with Santa Fe’s gay community in a beautiful setting.  If you are visiting Santa Fe and want information on attending  or for more information on enjoying the Gay Life in Santa Fe CLICK HERE

Gay Ski Week Santa Fe

March 8, 2010 by · 3 Comments

There are a lot of good reasons to live in Santa Fe. But one of my favorites is for the snow skiing and there are a lot of choices when doing so.  An hour and a half from Santa Fe is Taos Ski Valley, and in 2 hours you can be at both Angel Fire Resort or Red River ski areas.  But for us Santa Feans,  Ski Santa Fe is just a 15 mile drive  from the Plaza at Santa Fe boasting some of the best skiing in the Southwest. Just another way to enjoy the Gay Life in Santa Fe.
