The Burning of Will Schuster’s Zozobra

The 96th Burning of Zozobra was an unprecedented presentation in the midst of the 2020 pandemic. The Santa Fe Kiwanis are deeply grateful to our city, our state and the thousands of people who supported the safe construction, presentation and perpetuation of the 96-year-old historic tradition that we cherish together.   Despite the challenges of creating a live event with no public attendance and no ticket sales, the hard-won net proceeds of this event will help fund the community and international programs that benefit our children.   The 2020 Burning is dedicated to the Youth of New Mexico and to the First Responders who have set a shining example of selfless service by giving their tireless energy and professional skill to aid our Santa Fe and New Mexico communities. IN MEMORIAM: WILL SHUSTER for your Monster HAROLD GANS, GUS DENNINGER, JOHN CONRON and TERRY EGBERT for perpetuating the tradition; DOROTHA GOSLING and DAVID A.
