🎣 Fishing Derby Registration Lottery Opens September 11!

Get ready to cast a line! The City of Santa Fe's Fishing Derby is coming to Nichols Reservoir on Saturday, September 26.

The Fishing Derby is open only to City of Santa Fe residents. Because space is limited, participants will be selected through a registration lottery. The event can accommodate up to 150 children, each with one accompanying adult.

🎟️ How the lottery works:

1️⃣ Enter: The lottery opens at 9 a.m. Friday, September 11, and closes at 9 p.m. Monday, September 14. Each entry is limited to one child and one accompanying adult.

2️⃣ Random Selection: Participants will be randomly selected after registration closes.

3️⃣ Check Your Email: Those selected for a spot will be notified by email on September 16 or 17 with additional event information.

💧 The Fishing Derby is about more than casting a line. Nichols Reservoir is part of the Upper Santa Fe River Watershed, an important component of Santa Fe's water supply and natural environment. The event gives the next generation an opportunity to experience this resource firsthand and learn why protecting it matters for Santa Fe's future.
