The Burning of The Zozobra – LIVE Watch Party

September 4, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Say goodbye to the GLOOM of 2020 at The Capitol District!
Join us as we LIVE STREAM The Burning of The Zozobra from Santa Fe, New Mexico. There will be a DJ, drinks, and dancing as we count down to the lighting of the original burning man!
The Burning of Zozobra is a unique cultural event staged annually by the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe on the Friday before Labor Day as an exciting and fiery finale to the last days of summer.
Zozobra is the creation of Will Shuster, one of a group of artists known as the Cinco Pintores, who made their way to New Mexico in the 1920s. Shuster’s creation first appeared in his backyard in 1924 as a six-foot puppet, and over the years, has grown to a towering 50-foot high marionette. Made of wood, wire and cotton cloth and stuffed with hundreds of bags of shredded paper, Zozobra is a dark and eerie character, part ghost and part monster. Since those early days, the people of Santa Fe, families and friends new and old, have annually made their way to Fort Marcy Park, a few blocks from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, to view this one-of-a-kind Labor Day Friday pageant.
