Tucson's All Souls Procession is a one-of-a-kind community celebration of life and death. Every year on the first Sunday in November thousands of people participate in a procession that goes through downtown streets. The creativity and variety of costumes, floats, giant puppets and groups of musicians is astounding. Everyone is welcome and the atmosphere is a mix of somber, jubilant, raucous and calm.

The Procession ends up at the Franklin Street Docks, were everybody gathers to watch a spectacular finale show that always involves flying through the air and fire. The night always ends with the burning of a huge papier mache Urn. The Urn is pulled in the Procession and anyone who wants can put notes, messages or pictures in it that have meaning to them. It's a moving sight to see the Urn in flames high above the city, full of wishes and dreams and messages from the people below.
Look for The Urn at the Franklin Street Docks: a parking lot with two concrete docks (that make excellent stages)leftover from the railroad era. One of the docks orients generally East/West, the other North/South. Step up onto the dock that goes East/West, and find the iron rail that defines its north edge. At the east end of the rail look down and find the metal plate with a pipe coming out of it. I love hiding magnetized boxes!
As always, remember to be sneaky, sly and surreptitious. The city has a lot of eyes! Rehide with care.
Have fun out there!
