I was privileged and extremely lucky to attend The All Souls Procession in Tucson, AZ in November 2014. This is a community centered event based on Dia de los Muertos celebrations honoring the dead. The parade is open to all free of charge, with thousands participating in the parade and as spectators on the parade route. Immersing myself in the parade as a local was one of the joys of traveling to Arizona, an experience I'll never forget.
