Mexico City's Day of the Dead parade 2018 – in pictures
The Mexican capital holds a parade and vigil in memory of the migrants who lost their lives in transit across Mexico en route to the US
It is the third time a parade like this has been held in the city. The first Day of the Dead parade in Mexico City took place in 2016. It was inspired by the opening sequence of the James Bond film Spectre, which features a similar event in the city.
This year’s event is in memory of Mexican refugees who died as they attempted to travel to the US.

“Para un habitante de Nueva York, París, o Londres, la muerte es la palabra que jamás se pronuncia porque quema los labios. El mexicano, en cambio, la frecuenta, la burla, la acaricia, duerme con ella, la festeja, es uno de sus juguetes favoritos y su amor más permanente. Cierto, en su actitud hay quizá tanto miedo como en la de otros; más al menos no se esconde ni la esconde; la contempla cara a cara con impaciencia, desdén o ironía: ‘si me han de matar mañana, que me maten de una vez’.” - Octavio Paz (El Laberinto de la Soledad, 1950)

What Pixar’s Coco got right
I just got back from my third trip to Mexico, and rewatched Pixar’s Coco. I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of familiar sights!
Paper Banners
From the small towns to big cities, colorful decorations are stretched across the streets!
Business Signs
Especially in small towns, family business are painted onto the buildings, usually with the family name and date of establishment.
Street Dogs
I laughed at this line, because it’s true!! There are a lot of “perros de calle” in small towns, and they’re super sweet and love to beg for food. My sister made the mistake of naming this street dog and he didn’t stop following us for the three days we stayed in this town.
Dogs on roofs
I don’t know how they get up there.
Gazebos
We shot off our New Years’ fireworks in a plaza that looks a lot like this.
Ancient Architecture
Many ancient cultures who inhabited Mexico used this style of pyramid for temples, houses, and administrative buildings.
Tlaloc, is that you?
The entrance to the Land of the Dead looks a lot like the Aztecs’ depiction of their rain god.
Alebrijes
At artisan markets you can find shops filled with intricately and brightly painted animals. I knew they looked familiar!
Street Art
Mexico has some the best street art I’ve ever seen. Walls, businesses, doors, and even multistory office buildings are covered in bright, beautiful murals.
Pan Dulce
A common Mexican breakfast or holiday food is sweet bread, and you can buy them to your heart’s content at any bakery.
You know a lot of research went into this movie when I feel like I’m back in Mexico just watching it! Amazing work, Pixar!!
