Dia Los Muertos 2016 Part 2 of 2

The images on this page were taken at the Mission Cultural Center on Mission Blvd. These are some of the prize winning altars. You should definitely visit; they have performance as well.

The altars represent the deceased person's life. I believe this person was a dancer. A view of the altar from a distance.

Figurines at the base of the altar.

You can see the gemstones as you move closer to the altar.

A colorful altar, with a dragon (?)

A closeup of the dragons head.

Another interesting altar. This person must have liked black beans, rice and beer.

Two more award-winning altars.
