Thousands of people have turned out to see Mexico City’s Day of the Dead parade
Spectators take pictures of a James Bond-inspired Day of the Dead Parade going past, in Mexico City, Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023. The Hollywood-style parade was adopted in 2016 by Mexico City to mimic a fictitious march in the 2015 James Bond movie “Spectre.” City’s Day of the Dead parade as costumed dancers, drummers and floats took a festive turn down the Paseo de la Reforma boulevard all the way to the historic colonial main square.
In a nod to social change, there was a contingent of drag performers costumed as “Catrinas,” skeletal dames dressed in the height of 1870s fashion. Such parades were not part of traditional Day of the Dead festivities in most of Mexico, though in the southern state of Oaxaca “muerteadas” celebrations include a similar festive atmosphere.
