The Labor Day Friday Burning of Zozobra is followed by a festive arts and crafts fair that launches the Santa Fe Fiesta over the Labor Day weekend. The following weekend welcomes the Santa Fe Fiesta Desfile de Los Niños, the Children's Pet Parade, on Saturday, the Hysterical-Historical Parade on Sunday, and a traditional mass at <a href="/wiki/Cathedral_Basilica_of_Saint_Francis_of_Assisi" class="mw-redirect" title="Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi">St. Francis Cathedral</a>. </p><p>Since receiving all rights to the Zozobra pageant in 1964 from creator Will Shuster, the <a href="/wiki/Kiwanis_Club" class="mw-redirect" title="Kiwanis Club">Kiwanis Club</a> of Santa Fe has built Zozobra and burned the effigy at Fort Marcy Park. The Zozobra that burned on September 7, 2007, was certified by <a href="/wiki/Guinness_World_Records" title="Guinness World Records">Guinness World Records</a> as the largest marionette in the world, at the time measuring 15.21 m (49 ft 10.82 in) in height.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Burning of Zozobra was traditionally held in September, however, attendance at the event improved in 2014 when it was moved to the Friday immediately before Labor Day.<sup id="cite_ref-santafenewmexican_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-santafenewmexican-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Event_description">Event description</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Zozobra&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Event description"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Event gates open at 4 pm and live entertainment leads up to the official pageant that begins at 7 p.m., featuring live music, performances, a beachball toss and a performance of America's <a href="/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner" title="The Star-Spangled Banner">national anthem</a>. Lights-out music signals the start of the ritual tradition, and the annual drama begins in earnest. Zozobra begins to move, looking side to side and calling out his "Gloomies." A group of youthful dancers symbolize the children of Santa Fe, whom Zozobra has converted into his minions by clouding their minds and robbing them of their hope and happiness. A group of torchbearers arrives, representing brave townsfolk who come to fight Zozobra's dark intentions to destroy the city's future. Zozobra's force is great and his Gloomies frighten away the torchbearers, who drop their flaming torches and scatter. Zozobra and his Gloomies celebrate, but the watching crowd is energized and begins to chant "burn him, burn him." Summoned by this urgent call for help, the Fire Spirit materializes, dressed in red with a headdress, symbolizing Old Man Gloom's archenemy.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and representing goodness and light called forth to destroy the gloom and bad energy of the year. The Fire Spirit chases away the Gloomies and dances in a battle with Zozobra, whose arms and head move as he growls and groans.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Zozobra becomes incensed when the Fire Spirit takes up a pair of flaming torches to taunt him with the possibility of destruction. The struggle between light and darkness is finally consummated when the marionette is set alight by a series of internal fireworks and finally collapses, amidst a massive display of fireworks overhead, said to be creator Shuster's way of painting the sky. As the last of Zozobra smolders in a pile of glowing embers, the watching crowd joyously celebrates the victory of light over darkness. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="List_of_Zozobra-burning_events">List of Zozobra-burning events</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Zozobra&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: List of Zozobra-burning events"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Zozobra_Dusk.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Zozobra_Dusk.jpg/250px-Zozobra_Dusk.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Zozobra_Dusk.jpg/330px-Zozobra_Dusk.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Zozobra_Dusk.jpg/500px-Zozobra_Dusk.jpg 2x" data-file-width="972" data-file-height="1296" /></a><figcaption>2007 Zozobra with red hair</figcaption></figure> <p>The color of his hair changes each year.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
