Dances, processions, and more are taking place through Sunday.

The Tucson 'All Souls' celebration was established locally in 1990 as a way to honor lost loved ones and celebrate life.

“It’s always really nice when someone is walking through the procession and has a picture pinned to their costume, and someone comes up and says tell me about this person," Nadia Hagen, the event's art director said.
