(NM) Burning of Zozobra Friday, September 3

Last year was totally virtual, and people from around the world participated. (In a normal year, people submit a few thousand Glooms; last year the virtual Glooms submitted exceeded 110,000!) This year is a hybrid event, but you can still send in your Glooms to be burned and watch the live streaming event. It’s really something to see and a truly cleansing and uplifting ritual. This year’s event is the 100th anniversary of Zozobra’s founding.

The square was so crowded with the best mariachi bands in the world. Food tents everywhere with the smell of Navajo bread and great Mexican food. I think it has changed a lot in recent years?
