Nov 20, 2010: Dia de Los Muertos

xoxoxoBruce · 11-20-2010, 02:07 AM

Dia de Los Muertos, day of the dead, is an important holiday in Mexico. It's also a holiday in the American southwest, for obvious reasons.
At Hollywood Forever Cemetery, in Los Angeles, they just held their 11th annual Dia de Los Muertos celebration.

People hang out among the graves in everything from face paint to elaborate costumes, vying for prizes.

And a lot of people come to art show, parades/processions, food court, children's art center, and several performance venues...
continuous entertainment stages that run from early afternoon until midnight.

No word if the dead people enjoy being "honored".
