There is always something magical to see when Olvera Street celebrates the Day of the Dead with the traditional Novenario procession, public ceremonies, ofrendas, face painting and of course that big cup of champurrado caliente for all us thirsty calaveras! And there is still time tonight to join with our dearly departed for the fiesta. The procession starts at 7pm but get there early for face painting, shopping, pre and post procession ceremonies and performance and for the little ones: a swack at the pinata. Enjoy the Photo Essay!
