Celebrating Day of the Dead In Downtown

Posted: Updated:

Folks gathered in Downtown Tulsa to celebrate the Day of the Dead.

It's a Mexican holiday where family and friends pray for and remember loved ones who have died.

This year, along with live music and dancers, people decorated altars and created murals to honor those who've passed.

"To me, it's very moving," says chairwoman Jesse Bell. "It's very moving to walk around and look at all the altars and how much time and effort people have put into each one. It means something to everybody."

The holiday can be traced back nearly 3,000 years.
