Fred Harvey Weekend 2023

New Mexico History Museum
October 27-30, 2023

Join us in Santa Fe, or online, for two days of engaging talks and presentations at the New Mexico History Museum—and enjoy our historically delicious Foodie Dinner & Auction at the fabulous La Fonda on the Plaza. All net proceeds benefit the New Mexico History Museum.

New this year is a FredHead Reception at the History Museum on Friday, October 27, featuring Harvey-inspired refreshments and special programming and, for sponsors, a pre-reception private viewing of highlights of the museum’s Fred Harvey Company collection. Tickets are $25 per person or complimentary with a sponsorship (see below).

This is our 14th year of presenting a wonderful lineup of Harvey-themed lectures in the auditorium of the History Museum, which will take place this year on Friday, October 27, and Saturday, October 28. In-person tickets are $50 for the series, $25 for online, or complimentary with a sponsorship. Those attending in-person and online will receive immediate access to the recordings of the talks.

The Foodie Dinner & Auction, always the highlight of the weekend, will be on Saturday, October 28, in the Lumpkin Ballroom at La Fonda on the Plaza. Individual tickets are $150 or complimentary with a sponsorship. Cocktail hour begins at 6 p.m., followed by a four-course dinner prepared Johnny V and fellow award-winning chefs inspired by the Fred Harvey Company cuisine. All attendees will receive a special gift of Mimbreno China—designed by Mary Colter and replicated (and donated) by HF Coors—in a commemorative box.
