And the parade ends at Market Street, where the crowd continues to enjoy the day.
A weekend of activity culminated with the Dia de los Muertos festivities in Historic Downtown Silver City. Market Street, from Bullard to Texas was closed off for people to celebrate the day in Silver City style. There were vendors, food, chalk drawing on the street, music and of course, a parade down Bullard Street.
