Hombre de Fuego

Hombre de Fuego is Huajatolla Heritage Foundation's civic ritual of release and renewal.

Each September, following Mountain Mining Day, neighbors gather at the Huerfano Community Center to share Community Stew made from donated garden produce, enjoy mariachi and El Fandango, and participate in a guided conversation with Molina Speaks.

Before dusk, participants tuck written intentions into a seven-foot willow-and-sage effigy; when it’s lit, we honor our ancestors, let go of burdens, and send our shared hopes into the night—committing to return stronger for one another.


Free and open to the public. 928 Russell Ave, Walsenburg

Doors open at 4:30 and the effigy will burn around dusk.

Food, mariachi music, and El Fandango!
