DAY OF THE DEAD PROCESSION AND EVENT

Get in the Spirit.  Discover Magic. And, experience the unforgettable spectacle of Tubac’s annual Día de los Muertos celebration. Also known as “Day of the Dead”, Día de los Muertos is the tradition of celebrating and sharing memories of loved ones who have passed.

Ofrendas, or altars, are set up by many in Mexico and southern Arizona and adorned with items that the dead enjoyed while they were alive. In the procession, trunks of cars were set up showing off ofrendas with pictures to honor dead family and friends accompanied with drinks, sweets and bread that their dead loved ones used to enjoy.
