Neighborhood ofrendas

This Day of the Dead celebration has been growing every year here with families setting up ofrendas and submitting their addresses to a community map so residents can walk by and view them. This one, which is several tables long, is at Irving School.
Found this online: Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, is a traditional Mexican holiday celebrated November 2. On this day, it is believed that the souls of the dead return to visit their living family members. Many people celebrate this day by visiting the graves of deceased loved ones and setting up altars with their favorite foods, drink, and photos.
Irving also decorated its community garden.
My attempt at an artsy shot.
This one I saw on a walk.
