Sunday November 15th, 2008 All Souls Procession/Parade 6pm

The All Souls Procession is perhaps one of the most important inclusive and authentic public ceremonies in North America today. The Procession had its beginnings in 1990 with a ritualistic performance piece created by local artist Susan Johnson, who was grieving the passing of her father. Inspired by Mecico’s Dia de los Muertos holiday, Johnson felt she should honor her father in celebration and creativity. The performance was very well received and many artists were inspired to continue growing the Procession in its modern incarnation. For more information go to www.allsoulsprocession.org
