7am - 12:30pm Friday, July 4
What would a July 4th be without Pancakes on the Plaza? This July 4th tradition brings the community to the table and raises money to support progressive initiatives for lasting change. This year The United Way of Santa Fe teams up with the Santa Fe New Mexican and Rotary Club of Santa Fe.
Besides a delicious pancake breakfast, the event features an arts and crafts fair, live music, a vintage car show, and a children’s Firecracker Pajama Parade.
Pancakes on the Plaza increases awareness of Santa Fe County’s chronic conditions and pools resources to fund direct, effective solutions for lasting change in our community.
Proceeds will be invested in the Santa Fe Children’s Project, an innovative, comprehensive community program to improve children’s success in school and life, the New Mexican Community Fund, and Rotary Club of Santa Fe Foundation.
