Viva Santa Fe Celebrates Centuries of Culture this September

The 50-foot, 2,000-pound marionette Zozobra, also known as “Old Man Gloom,” is stuffed with divorce decrees, bankruptcy filings, tax receipts and other paper manifestations of stress.

Fiesta de Santa Fe is the oldest continuous celebration in the county and the 303

There will be field trips and evening events as well. Many activities have limited capacity so please check the website for details and registration.
