Good Riddance Day is our annual event where we 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 us 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 our official Good Riddance Day forms that will be provided at the event. It is not a shredding, burning, or disposal event, and we will not accommodate requests to securely dispose of items.
