large scale altar installation in Garfield Park.

on.

We also welcome anyone to to create an altar in
Garfield Park in honor of their ancestors, loved ones,
friends that have passed away. For more information on

      Hey MT !

      Last year they said that the march started on Bryant, but it always seems to start in front of the Mission Cultural Center on Mission between 24th & 25th.

        For the first time in 15 years, i think i understand the route. i'll blame the shrooms, which i no longer do because i take Dante every year now ..

        Say, it seemed to me like the procession was half the size of last year's, although the weather was better this time ..
