The Resolution & Memory Wall
Send your 2027 out into the Santa Fe night. Share a resolution for the year ahead, a favorite memory of 2026, or a tribute to someone you’re carrying into the new year, and watch it light up the big screen on the Plaza as we count down to midnight.
From the banner to the big screen
Every New Year’s Eve, families stop at the Hopes and Dreams banner on the Plaza to write a wish for the year ahead. By midnight it’s covered in names, prayers, inside jokes and promises.
The Resolution & Memory Wall takes that tradition to the big screen. Now anyone can share a message, even if you can’t make it to the Plaza, and see it shine over the crowd on the last night of the year. The banner will still be there for you to sign, too.
Three ways to light up the wall
A resolution
What will you do, try, change or finally finish in 2027?“Run my first 5K. Abuela, you’re coming to the finish line.”
A memory of 2026
The moment, the trip, the win or the laugh you want to remember.“2026: the year we finally saw Zozobra burn together.”
A tribute
Honor someone you loved and lost this year, or someone who made 2026 brighter.“For Dad. Every New Year’s on the Plaza is still yours.”
Three easy steps
- Choose your gift. Give $1 or more. Your gift supports community events like this one to keep them free for families, and it’s tax-deductible.
- Write your message. Keep it short, one or two sentences, so it fits on the screen. Add a photo if you like.
- Look up on New Year’s Eve. Once our team reviews your entry, it joins the messages scrolling on the big screen on the Plaza throughout the night.
Questions
When is the deadline?
Messages can be shared until 6 p.m. on Thursday, December 31, 2026, so our team has time to review them before the celebration starts.
Does everything get shown?
Every entry is reviewed first. We share messages that are kind and family-friendly, and we may shorten long ones to fit the screen.
Can I share more than one?
Yes. Each message is its own entry with its own gift, so feel free to share a resolution and a tribute.
Do I have to add a photo?
No. Photos are optional. If you add one, please only share a photo you have the right to share.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. You’ll get a thank-you email with your gift amount, and you can ask for a year-end tax letter on the form.
