Hi, Mauricio, thanks for introducing this interesting event of your tradition.  We Japanese also have similar event to welcome the spirit of the ancestors.

FWIW, I started a dedicated thread for sharing various traditional events and festivals from all over the world, taking advantage of this international forum.  Hope you are interested!

Armando,

There are like 30-40 skulls at Paseo de la Reforma, different colors, patterns and themes. The lotto cards skull is my favorite  :D

Thank you for comment.
