Yes

Are there vendors there now? I don’t know what is going on there right now. I visited and wrote the review a couple months ago....

Yes it is but the true Native American vendors are there on weekends. Their work is amazing.

Bargaining is a bit of a lost art. Negotiating a price that you are willing to pay and one that the seller is willing to accept needs to be done respectfully. The potential buy never knows for sure what price the seller might be willing to accept. Many of the sellers are the artisans that made the items and what they are willing to sell it for may vary with the day of the week and even the time of day. It all depends on the sellers desire to sell the the the price the buyer's willing to pay...

Daily, they are fully licensed, vetted, true their pueblo, artform and family heritage. Many have inherited their location undervthe portal from their parents and grandparents. This is highly coveted and respected and for purchaser the real real thing. Also, stop my friends, going on 4 generations at tne Shop of the Rainbow Man. Tell them Kate sent you. They, too, are the real thing, their history representin Native families and their artforms are respectable and beyond.

The space is packed every day with the local vendors selling a wide variety of items. They are very friendly and it is fun to talk with them about their histories and knowledge of the area.

So sorry, I doubt it would be open Christmas Day as all of downtown is closed up except the hotels and some of the restaurants.

They will be there is my understanding.

Hola Canadian visitor! We are not the "Jeffrey" to whom you address your question, but we are regular visitors to Santa Fe and we can almost 100% assure you that there will be "vendors" (i.e. Indian craftspeople) with a wide and amazing array of rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. on display for sale at any time you visit. They roll their blankets out, display their wares, and barter with the interested seekers. If you google for "palace of the governors" (hint for you: put three letters on the front of the search, and follow it up with and ending of "org" and you will get access to the official website with times they are open. This site has some particular rules about not providing the official websites for things (they will edit the answers out) but you are more than welcome to send us a "pm" private message for more info. Do some exploring of the very special places near downtown. We found the Loretto Chapel and also an original church where Indians waged an arrow assault on the church. There are some truly amazing and historically important places here.

Are you referring to the sales under the portal of the Governor's Palace? If so, it's pretty much a daily thing, although fewer vendors will show up if they think business will be slow. Mostly that would be on rainy or snowy days outside of the tourist season.
