Mexic-Arte presented the 27th annual Día de los Muertos festival — Viva La Vida 2010!
Festivities and preparation for the parade started at Saltillo Plaza in East Austin. Then the procession marched at 6pm with many dressed in costume and skulls, large props, and Austin Samba School dancing and drumming the whole way to Congress Avenue! My highlight is getting to push around a skeleton horse during the parade 
Enjoy!
“Mexic-Arte Museum, the Official Mexican and Mexican American Fine Art Museum of Texas, is celebrating its 27th Annual Día de los Muertos– Austin’s largest and longest-running Day of the Dead festival featuring Latino artists and entertainment, educational art activities, and a grand procession in the heart of downtown.
Part of the proceeds benefit the Museum’s education outreach programs.
