WATCH: Day of the Dead River Parade, After-Party

San Antonio – San Antonio’s unique Day of the Dead River Parade welcomed in-person attendees on Friday night after the pandemic forced the event to be virtual-only last year.

Day Of The Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, is a long-held Mexican tradition that honors those who have passed away.

The parade featured colorful and elaborate floats with ofrendas (altars), catrinas (well-dressed skeletons) and calaveras (decorated skulls).

You can watch the full parade in the video player at the top of this article and the KSAT after-party in the embedded video below.
