What is this All Souls Procession? Tucsons most unique and amazing cultural event, as the community comes together to remember, grieve, commune, and celebrate. Watch this short video story from Arizona Public Media: https://media.azpm.org/master/video/2013/11/1/hrhd/all_souls.mp4 What started out as an intimate personal expression of loss and mourning, the All Souls Procession is now a collective celebration of a unique cultural tradition in Tucson... Organizers of the All Souls procession are quick to point out that the event is a participatory experience. Everyone is invited to share in the collective expression of what they call a festal culture. ... Hagen said the procession, although inspired by the Latin American Dia de los Muertos - Day of the Dead - traditions, is actually an amalgam of many cultural identities. Just having that emotional experience of being able to come out and see your neighbor, experience raw human emotion...grief, sadness, joy, celebration...just with your feet on the street and your neighbor next to you...it forces you to ask big questions, she said. All Souls procession has grown with each successive year.
