An estimated 40,000 people took part in Tucson’s 24th Annual All Soul’s Procession on Sunday.
The new route for the procession entered downtown Tucson from the north through the Sixth Avenue underpass and covered nearly two miles before culminating in the grand finale performance at Mercado San Agustin.
Participants typically dress in black and wear skull-like face paint, often carrying photos of deceased friends, relatives and pets.
