The official start to the Santa Fe Fiesta begins with the Burning of ZoZobra the first week of September.
The Zozobra celebration is the symbolic burning of a 50 ft marionette that represents negative things that occurred in the past year. For the next 4 days the celebration continues in many parts of town.
A carnival in the Rodeo fairgrounds goes on continually during Fiesta. There is a pet parade for children to dress up their pets where prizes are awarded.
A ceremony where a costumed Don de Vargas appears in the plaza is held. A court of the Queen and Princesses of the Fiesta court is part of the parade downtown. A Fiesta Ball is held in the convention center in town as well as numerous opportunities around town to experience traditional Spanish dancing, music, and food.
The whole Fiesta experience in Santa Fe is a true celebration with historical value. It is one more example of the rich history of Santa Fe. We invite you to enjoy it with us.
