SANTA FE, N.M. — Tens of thousands of people descended upon Fort Marcy Park for the 100th Burning of Zozobra Friday night in Santa Fe.

This is the 100th time that Old Man Gloom went up in flames, burning away all the sorrows and gloom attendees brought with them.

Old Man Gloom was all dolled up for the big night with sparkly gold hair. Zozobra had some interesting looks the past few years with a 70s and 80s, but organizers went with his classic look for the 100th anniversary.

The Rail Runner expanded their services for the event. Authorities were also closing roads in the area to ensure people can get to it smoothly.

Folks could only bring clear bags (no tote bags or backpacks). Coolers, outside drinks or water bottles were also not allowed.

However, folks could bring their own food, but they had to take it out of its wrapper or container and transfer it to a free plastic bag that organizers had at food exchange stations. Organizers also provided an on-site locker for $10.

Entertainment began at 4:50 p.m. with the Santa Fe-based Latin and alternative rock band Lumbros. Then, the Moving Arts Española Ballet Folklorico performed at 5:40 p.m. before the official Zozobra show kicked off at 6 p.m. The show featured Red Bull Batalla, Innastate, Black Pearl Band NM, Mariachi Euforia, MaaTuu Pueblo Dancers.
