2025.11.1-2, El Dia De Los Muertos

Day of the Dead all weekend at Seattle Center's Armory. A very colorful event. All Mexican's festivals are colorful. Many alters from different regions, dances too. A lot of flowers, especially dried marygold. On the 2nd floor, there's many vendors who sell skeletons of all sizes and colors. I especially like the "cemetary" reinactment, where you can lay the photo of your loved ancester here too. I went to the "film" room and watched a documentary (on loop) about the Day of the Dead, and it talked about Catrinas.

Same weekend, a Catrinas festival in Town Hall, with a vendor space, and the stage for performance. 11/2, Sunday, on my way back home, I stopped by Town Hall. Too early for the performance. I tried the CBD facial serum. Couldn't feel any difference. I really like these large skulls and catrinas are fun. Elaborate face painting. A lot of people walking with their face painted like ghost.
