Marigold Parade celebrates Dia de los Muertos
Marco Torrez | November 5Dia de los Muertos, the Day of The Dead, is a multi-generational, deep-rooted Mexican tradition and for almost the past three decades it has been celebrated as a public parade throughout the South Valley in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This past Sunday marked the 26th annual Dia De Los Muertos Marigold Parade. The event began at 2 p.m. but crowds of people started to gather on the streets up to an hour before to get the best spots to see the upcoming parade. Kristin Barendsen, a New Mexico local, said that she has come to the South Valley’s Dia De Los Muertos Marigold Parade for more than five years. She said that she dresses up every single year with her friends and family.
