I am planning a trip out there in August and wondered if wearing a kilt would cause a riot or something.

Some small towns can be rough.....

Yes, I tried searching the forum on "Santa Fe" but I was getting matches where everyone wanted "Santa" to bring them more kilts so I gave up
New Mexico has two tartans, an "official" one and an "unofficial" one, "The Land of Enchantment" tartan. The City of Albuquerque also has its own tartan to celebrate the 300th anniversary of it's founding.

Here's an article from the Scottish American Military Society's newsletter:

And another article about the Albuquerque tartan:

There are several Scottish societies, pipe bands, etc. in NM, so I wouldn't imagine any problems with a kilt there.
