Day of the Dead Parade Mexico City
The 2015 James Bond movie ‘Spectre’ opens with a Day of the Dead parade staged in El Zócalo, México City’s main square. It inspired the real Mexico City parade starting in 2016. The Spectre parade was pure fantasy. Nobody celebrates Día de Muertos like that. It is a family tradition. Some decry its commercialization. But it sure looks cool. Mexico City anyone?
