Boyle Heights lit up over the weekend with multiple Día de los Muertos celebrations in the streets.
Combining the customary altars, painted faces and sugar skulls with newer elements, like a reunited Oingo Boingo performing “Dead Man Walking” in Mariachi Plaza, the neighborhood preserves the Mexican traditions and evolves new Angeleno traditions.
The free events hosted by Self Help Graphics and Eastside Luv were well attended and, thus, well documented. Here is a sampling of the Tweets, Instagrams and other photos and updates from the festivities.
