Sunday: All Souls Procession

The All Souls Procession will wend through new grounds this year, but the intent has not changed one bit: It is still a homegrown, sacred event where Tucsonans gather to grieve, honor and celebrate those who have passed.

Participants often wear costumes, paint their faces, and carry pictures of those they have loved and lost. The grand finale is an explosion of music and dance that continues the sense of reverence with which the procession started.

Where: The new route starts near North Grande Avenue and East Speedway

When: Participants start to gather about 4 p.m. and the procession begins at 6 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 5
