DESCRIPTION:San Francisco Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) Procession and Outdoor 
 Altar Exhibit : Monday, November 2, 7:00pm, 24th & Bryant, FREE\n\nSan 
 Francisco, CA- Please join thousands of families, community members, 
 neighbors, artists, activists, and youth at the corner of 24th & Bryant in 
 the Mission District of San Francisco at 7:00pm on Monday, November 2 for 
 San Francisco’s annual Dia de los Muertos procession and public altar 
 exhibit. The procession will end at the Festival of Altars in Garfield 
 Park, located at 26th & Harrison.\n\nLocal artists have been commissioned 
 to build community altars for the public display in Garfield Park. The 
 theme for the Festival of Altars is Whispers of Death, celebrating ancestor 
 wisdom. Please bring offerings to place on our community altars: candles, 
 photographs, bread, other foods, flowers, toys and other symbolic offerings 
 for people that have passed away. \n\nDía de los Muertos is a traditional 
 Meso-American holiday dedicated to the ancestors; it honors both death and 
 the cycle of life. In Mexico, neighbors gather in local graveyards to share 
 food, music, and fun with their families and extended community, both 
 living and departed. In San Francisco, Day of the Dead has been celebrated 
 since the early 70s with art, music, performances, a walking procession and 
 community altars. This event is family friendly and Free.\n\nFor more
