Break out the plaid shirts and the Pokémon cards! The Annual Burning of Zozobra is the most historic show in town, and before Old Man Gloom goes up in smoke, the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe is stoked for celebrating his date with destiny at a chill retro 1990s-themed party!
Gather the gang and be among the first to meet Zozobra at the FREE Annual ZozoFest and Zozobra Art Show, Friday – Sunday, August 26 – 28, 2022, at Santa Fe Place Mall, 4250 Cerrillos Rd, Santa Fe, in the space next to Boot Barn at the western end of the mall.
This year’s ZozoFest, sponsored by Del Norte Credit Union and the Del Norte LOV Foundation, sends Zozobra’s Decades Project into the 1990s in a free, fun way to connect to this iconic tradition.
Get a first-look preview of Santa Fe’s biggest malcontent before he meets his immortal foe, the Fire Spirit. You can put your own glooms right into Zozobra with his ginormous head glaring at you over your shoulder. And ZozoFest is the one-stop shop for tickets and Zozobra merchandise including the 2022 official T-shirts and posters!
The ZozoFest Art Exhibit gives dedicated fans a chance to score one-of-a-kind artwork, limited edition prints, sculptures, photographs, and creative artwork in a variety of media. Hundreds of drawings by Santa Fe Public School students showcase the enduring love for Santa Fe’s oldest grouch and you can even create your own Zozobra art at the free crafts tables!
Say hello to Old Man Gloom at ZozoFest and don’t forget to save the date, Friday, September 2, to say goodbye to your gloom at the 98th Burning of Zozobra! You can get your tickets at ZozoFest or online at https://burnzozobra.com.
