What September feels like
Zozobra burns on the Friday before Labor Day: a towering marionette of gloom goes up in flames while a stadium's worth of people groan along, and it is the most Santa Fe thing that happens all year. The fiestas run through the weekend after, and then the weather settles into the finest stretch of the year.
Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
