Decorated barges will parade down the river that runs through the heart of our magnificent city along the River Walk. Each barge represents a different figure or tradition associated with the Day of the Dead.

The parade begins at 7 PM from the Weston Centre starting point, and the first float is expected to travel through Arneson River Theatre at 7:45 PM.
