Participants of this year's All Souls Procession in Tucson.
The long-running All Souls Procession in Tucson, which has celebrated Day of the Dead every year since 1990, brought more than 125,000 people to to the city’s downtown for a sacred and creative celebration that honors those who have shuffled loose the mortal coil. This year's edition on Sunday, November 6, was much of the same, with thousands upon thousands gathering to march — many of who were adorned in sugar skull, wearing costumes, or carrying makeshift altars.
