Celebrate American Indian Culture

Event History

Santa Fe Days on the Square started as a one time, exclusive arts event founded by Dave Oldfield, a downtown Carrollton, Texas businessman in June 2004. Mr. Oldfield had visited the Santo Domingo Pueblo Indians from New Mexico and fell in love with the beautiful craftsmanship of their jewelers. He wanted to bring the taste of the Southwest to the DFW region.

Thus the name "Santa Fe Days On The Square".

As a result of community feedback, Santa Fe Days became an annual event.

It has expanded from an "Arts and Crafts" venue to a American Indian Educational and Cultural event.

We are proud to have grown from one Pueblo to many Indigenous Nations from the Americas.

As part of our Cultural Presentation we will have the Mexihca-Nahuatl (Aztec) Ceremonial Dance group. Mexihca is a term that included 8 different clans (bands) who settled the areas of modern day Wyoming to present day Mexico City. The dances have been passed down generation-to-generation since 1521, when it went underground  because of the Spanish invasion. The dance is a living, evolving and spiritual tradition from our Ancestors. It is kinetic prayer, individual yet communal. Through our dances we honor the 4 Directions and the 4 Sacred Elements that give us life..
