Description:
The Many Mouths One Stomach arts collective presents the All Souls Procession Weekend. This people-powered, people-created grassroots Tucson event is perhaps one of the most inclusive and authentic public ceremonies in North America today. Well over 150,000 participants fill the streets of downtown Tucson for a two-mile long human-powered procession that ends in the ceremonial burning of a large urn filled with the hopes, offerings and wishes of the public for those who have passed. yriad altars, performers, installation art, and creatives of all kinds collaborate for almost half the year to prepare their offerings for this amazing event. The All Souls Procession, and now the entire All Souls Weekend, is a celebration and mourning of the lives of our loved ones and ancestors.
