Venue

Santa Fe Community Convention Center
201 Marcy St., Santa Fe, NM 87501

The Santa Fe International Literary Festival takes place at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center (SFCCC), a LEED-certified green building in the heart of Santa Fe’s historic downtown.

The site has long served as a place of gathering—from its origins as the Tewa Pueblo people’s “Dancing Ground of the Sun” to its role in Santa Fe’s civic and cultural life today. The Convention Center continues that tradition as the Festival’s home.

Finding Your Way During the Festival

You may already be familiar with the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. During the Festival, spaces throughout the building are activated for author talks, signings, hospitality, and special programs.

To help you navigate:

  • The Festival schedule identifies the room location for most sessions. Some room assignments are still being finalized and will be updated before the event.

  • The map at right map shows room locations and key Festival areas.

  • On-site signage and volunteers are positioned throughout the building to assist with wayfinding.

Below is a guide to the official SFCCC room names and how each space is used during the Literary Festival.
