The Parade Details:
Dia De Los Muertos (literally Day of the Dead) is an ancient tradition rooted in Mexico. It is not Halloween. It celebrates life and honors those who have passed on. Our particular celebration draws its influences from Jose Guadalupe Posada’s early 1900’s portrayal of personalities and professions as skeletons or Calaveras.
Posada depicted rich and poor alike as skeletons in ordinary and sometimes outrageous but tragic life settings. Printed sheets would circulate during Dia De Los Muertos festivities where he would seize the opportunity for political satire and comedy. The Posada Calavera always seemed to be laughing, frolicking and up to some kind of mischief.
We want the public to laugh and perhaps cry but never abhor—never be made to feel that they just walked away from seeing something gory, ghoulish, foul or traumatizing.
The theme this year is "Slumdogs, Gatos Gordos and Hood Rats".
In the spirit of Dia De Los Muertos, we welcome everyone to participate in our parade. Political satire welcome.
