Following Zozobra, or starting with Zozobra, was the Fiesta de Santa Fe, a huge party held annually since 1712. We attended the children's pet parade, which featured children with pets, without pets, and plenty of adults too. Pictured here are baby zozobra (too cute to burn) and several entries with pets. Although most of the pets were dogs, there were a couple crates of chickens, 2 goats, 1 cat, 1 ferret and a couple rabbits.
Sunday afternoon was the Historical/Hysterical parade, but we didn't see much historical or hysterical about it. There were a lot of school sports teams, political candidates (all democratic) and local businesses. Pictured are some of the historical horses, one hysterical donkey, and the peace bus.
Besides parades, there were several religious processions, great music, and the usual craft and food booths. The nice thing about this event was that it was really a party for everyone who lives in the area as opposed to tourists and wealthy art patrons.
