In Market Square this weekend,
San Antonio being a large Hispanic population,
they had a festival celebrating
Día de los Muertos - Day of the Dead
Not knowing of the tradition... at first
you think it to be a little strange until
you learn of it's history.
Here is a video I took with my iPhone.
If you want to read more about the tradition....
Here are a couple of websites telling
the history of Día de los Muertos

Also on google and go to images of day of the dead.
Very cool!
