When?: Wednesday 1st November, 5-6pm. The shuffling begins at the Zócalo on 5th (Near the Bus station at the South end of 5th) and returns to the ground from whence it came at La Caldera cultural centre at 9pm (casa esquina de calle 26 y 10 Avenues).

Then on the following day:
Thursday 2nd November, 6pm, in Paseo del Carmen (this is the swanky area at the Southern beginning of 5th): Music, Dance, Calacas (Skeletons), Offerings, Poetry, Puppets y mas...

postponed... cancelled?

Andiline · 11-02-2006

Well, we didn´t go there as it was raining too hard to go out at 5 pm. Kathy.web later told us that it did not start so I guess the whole event yesterday was cancelled. Today the weather is better though so hopefully we will see it today.
