Last night was the first Saturday in November which meant that the community of Santa Ana gathered for its 7th annual “Noche de Altares” celebration. Honoring the centuries old tradition of “Dia de los Muertos,” clothing/culture shop Calacas and El Centro Cultural de Mexico teamed together to line the city’s “Fiesta Marketplace” with vending booths, altars, music and most of all, people! And there was a whole lot of people at last night’s event! Each year the celebration keeps getting bigger and bigger. Here’s a few photos promised to you from my humble digi camera:

{This was put up in honor of me – the tallest Mexican in all of OC!}
