Mexico City's Day of the Dead Parade

A Vibrant Ode to Life & Ancestry Every November 1st and 2nd, Mexico transforms death into a riotous celebration during Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). This year’s parade kicked off at 2 PM on November 2nd, flooding the streets with a kaleidoscope of joy—a tradition rooted in ancient Aztec and Mayan beliefs that death is not an end, but a doorway to another existence. 💀 Origins: Where the Living Dance with the Dead Centuries ago, Mesoamerican civilizations like the Aztecs viewed mourning as disrespectful to the departed. Instead, they created a festive reunion, believing spirits return annually to savor music, food, and love. Modern celebrations fuse these rituals with Catholic influences, culminating in Mexico City’s now-iconic parade—popularized globally by James Bond’s 2015 spectacle but deeply local at heart. #Mexico #Day of the Dead Parade
