I See Dead People: Images From Dia de los Muertos

This weekend there have been several events open to the public for celebrating Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), which honors those who have passed away through the creation of colorful altars and costumed processionals. Two major celebrations were at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Saturday night, and on Olvera Street from the 25th through tonight. Our LAist Featured Photos pool contributors shared with us via Flickr some amazing images from the festivities. There's still stuff happening through this afternoon and into tonight, too, if you want to take part!

Tiny skulls dangle on tags hung on branches at Olvera Street, where the festivities have been going on for 9 days. (Open Air Control Testing Ground/LAist Featured Photos pool via Flickr)
