the burning of zozobra
‘OLD MAN GLOOM’

sept in santa fe new mexico

Each year, in a frenzied show of flames, fireworks, dance and music Santa Fe torches the year’s sorrows by cheering the flaming demise of Old Man Gloom. Zozobra is a 5-story tall growling, groaning symbol of darkness, transformed into heat, light and a pile of ashes by the evening events.
