Here’s why Santa Fe Popcorn is the ultimate snack for every Santa Fe adventure.

1. The Perfect Festival Companion

Santa Fe is home to some of the most iconic festivals in the country, from the Santa Fe Indian Market to the International Folk Art Market and the world-famous Fiesta de Santa Fe. These events bring together art, music, and community—and what better way to enjoy the experience than with a bag of gourmet popcorn in hand? Unlike messy or heavy snacks, Santa Fe Popcorn is easy to carry, share, and munch on while you take in the sights and sounds of the city’s vibrant celebrations.

2. Movie Nights in the Park Just Got Better

One of the best ways to enjoy Santa Fe’s cool summer nights is by watching an outdoor movie in Railyard Park or other scenic spots around town. And what’s a movie without popcorn? Instead of settling for standard theater popcorn, elevate your experience with gourmet popcorn flavors inspired by Santa Fe—like our Biscochito popcorn, a nod to New Mexico’s beloved state cookie, or the sweet and salty Churro Kettle Corn with a hint of cinnamon. The next time you spread out a blanket under the stars, don’t forget to bring Santa Fe Popcorn for the full cinematic experience.

3. The Ultimate Hiking & Outdoor Adventure Snack

With its endless hiking trails and breathtaking outdoor spaces, Santa Fe is a paradise for nature lovers. Whether you’re trekking through Bandelier National Monument, exploring Tent Rocks, or taking a leisurely stroll along the Dale Ball Trails, you need a snack that’s lightweight, energizing, and easy to pack. Popcorn is the perfect trail snack—it won’t melt, it’s packed with flavor, and it delivers just the right amount of crunch to keep you going. Plus, with options like our Frito Pie popcorn, inspired by a true New Mexico classic, you’ll get a taste of the Southwest wherever your adventure takes you.
