Every Labor Day weekend, Santa Feans cheer the demise of Old Man Gloom as he burns to the ground, taking with him our despair, sorrows, and other hardships from the past year. The following weekend, the city will celebrate the annual Fiestas de Santa Fe, which is not without controversy, too, given that the festivities mark the Spanish defeat of the Pueblo Indians in 1692, following the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.
Food plays a big role in these events, from the food truck fare available at Zozobra to the green chile cheeseburgers, chicharrón burritos, corn on the cob, cotton candy, candy apples, and more sold by vendors on the Santa Fe Plaza during Fiesta.
