Good Riddance Day is an annual event where you say goodbye to what frustrated us and usher in a new start for the new year, inspired by a Latin American tradition in which New Year’s revelers stuffed dolls with objects representing bad memories before setting them on fire. Join in saying “Good riddance!” to any unpleasant, unhappy, and downright unwanted memories from 2025, making room for the positive to come in 2026.

Please note: Good Riddance Day is a symbolic event for disposing of singular memories or ideas on their official Good Riddance Day forms that will be provided at the event. It is not a shredding, burning, or disposal event, and they will not accommodate requests to securely dispose of items.
