Programs

  1. The "Burning of Will Shuster's Zozobra", is a unique cultural experience staged by the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe. The event is an annual pageant which features the burning of a 50-foot marionette called "Zozobra or Old Man Gloom". As Zozobra burns, it is said that with him go the feelings of gloom from the past year. Zozobra, created by Will Shuster, was introduced to the Santa Fe Fiestas in 1924. The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe was assigned all rights in "Zozobra" by artist Shuster on June 19, 1964. Currently, Zozobra requires over 3,500 volunteer hours to plan, present, construct, and stage the pageant. Planning the event is a year-round process and involves the cooperation of the City of Santa Fe. Zozobra is a community event that is a tradition for many Santa Feans. Over 48,500 attended the Burning of the Zozobra in September 2025.
