In Mexico City, Day of the Dead parade inspired by 007
WHILE the Day of the Dead is a centuries-old tradition in Mexico, its parade Saturday in the capital is a newer addition – with thanks to Bond, James Bond.
The Day of the Dead, a centuries-old Mexican tradition, received a modern twist in the capital city this past Saturday. Inspired by the 2015 Bond film Spectre, the parade featured giant skeletons, floats, and performers in elaborate costumes, drawing crowds from Mexico and abroad. Visitors marveled at the colorful, smelly, and dramatic atmosphere filled with people of various nationalities and personalities.
The parade, now in its 10th anniversary, has grown from a more intimate celebration to a massive event, with city officials expecting over half a million visitors this year. The event coincided with the city's Formula One Grand Prix race.
