One of Albuquerque’s most visually stunning traditions: the Día de los Muertos Marigold Parade. Thousands dressed in elaborate face paint and marigold-draped costumes process through Old Town in a joyful communal celebration of life, memory, and loved ones who came before.

Altars line the parade route. Marigold petals blanket the pavement. Both deeply solemn and genuinely joyful.
