Bring Out Your Dead!
2021
The All Souls Procession, in honor of Dia de Los Muertos, is a large and popular event in Tucson. It started in 1990 and has grown to a weekend long event with over 100,000 participants. It is a celebration and mourning of the lives of loved ones and ancestors. The procession is a two mile walk through the streets of Tucson culminating at a stage with live music and the burning of a large urn filled with the names of loved ones. Gothard lab members have participated in the procession in recent years by dressing up and making a banner. We will continue this tradition in the years to come.
