Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de los Muertos) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in many cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. Here are photos from the Albuquerque NM Marigold Parade held on November 6, 2011.  This is part one of a two part set of pictures. These photos were taken before the official start of the parade.

The FULL set of the pre-parade photos (Volume 1) are available on my Motley Photos site, please click here to view.

Volume 2 is now published, which are pictures of the parade.  Please click here to go to Motley Photos to view the entire set.  Or you may view a smaller set here on the Motley News post.

Here is a video I created from film that I shot. It’s a pretty cool vid!
