The Santa Fe Rodeo is ranked as one of the nation's 100 top rodeos, and with good reason. This festival event is held every June, and features everything from barrel racing to bareback and bull riding. The rodeo has a rich history, as it has been roping in fans since it first was held back in 1949. This is an excellent family event, as the kids will enjoy the Mutton Bustin' event, carnival rides, and lots of great food and fun.

At Vanessie of Santa Fe, there is always a Piano Man playing songs that will truly make you feel alright. The charming piano bar is located inside Vanessie's restaurant and attracts fans of great food and equally appealing music. The melodies you know and love come to life thanks to the keyboard virtuosity of such players as Charles Tichenor, Doug Montgomery and other master keyboardists. If you don't feel like heading into the restaurant, you can still order light menu items at the bar so you won't miss a note of the nightlife fun.

Nature lovers and history buffs will have much to enjoy outdoors when visiting Nambe Falls. There is plenty to captivate the eye, as this area features such natural amenities as waterfalls, fishing, camping, and inviting hiking trails. The excellent lookout points are numerous, but make sure to check out the area above Nambe Pueblo, which is one of the most breathtaking. The spot is also where the annual Fourth of July dance ceremony is held.

Add some sizzle to your romance when the two of you take classes at the Santa Fe School of Cooking. There's nothing like taking on a project together, and both of you will learn how to create different types of meals (that include several Mexican dishes). You'll find that spending time together creating a delicious project that you both can enjoy when it's done will create special, romantic (and sometimes humorous) moments that you will never forget.
