All Souls Procession
11/03/2024 @ 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm
The 35th Annual All Souls Procession Weekend Friday-Sunday November 1-3, 2024
The All Souls Procession is one of the most important, inclusive and authentic public ceremonies in North America today. The Procession had its beginnings in 1990 with a ceremonial performance piece created by local artist Susan Johnson. Johnson was grieving the passing of her father, and as an artist, she found solace in a creative, celebratory approach to memorializing him. Says Johnson, “From the beginning, it was different people’s ethnic groups, different cultures, but also it was all these different art forms put together.”
The route is on the West side, paralleling the Santa Cruz River. It begins on Grande Avenue south of Speedway Boulevard., and marches directly south on Grande Ave to Congress St. Then left to the Mercado District.
