The holiday “Day of the Dead” focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for, and remember,  the dearly departed.

One of the favorite traditions is the Grand Procession, featuring a parade of folks in costume honoring the souls of departed loved-ones. Last Saturday, this event was presented as part of Mexic-Arte’s Dia de los Muertos festivities.

My niece is a pretty talented shutterbug, and took a lot of great photos that I thought were too good not to share:

Dia de la Muertos is officially on Nov. 2nd. So, gather your sugar skulls and assemble your alters, and celebrate!
