Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and All Souls Procession
Dia de los Muertos
Tucson has a rich and vibrant cultural history that isn’t common to many other cities of it’s size. You might have noticed expressions of that heritage all throughout town! At the heart of this tradition is Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and the All Souls Procession.
Each year, during the first weekend of November, Downtown Tucson explodes with a parade of color, art, and music in honor of family and friends no longer with us. From it’s humble roots in the Mexican countryside, Dia de los Muertos calls on all people to celebrate their individual and shared histories.
Even though the entire purpose of Dia de los Muertos is to commemorate the lives of those who have passed on, it is really a huge thank-you party. In honoring their life as opposed to focusing on their death, we allow our loved ones to breathe again. It’s also a great excuse to don some amazing costumes and shut down a major Downtown artery for a huge party!
