Día de los Muertos at Hollywood Forever
Grief does not disappear because somebody told you to move on. It goes looking for a place to be held. For twenty-seven years, tens of thousands of people have carried theirs into a cemetery on Santa Monica Boulevard and turned a night of mourning into the most alive gathering in Los Angeles.
This is not a costume party and it is not a spectacle staged for visitors. Hundreds of hand-built altars glow with marigolds and photographs of specific people. Aztec dancers move through copal smoke. Families sit on the grass beside the names they came for, and sugar skulls get pressed into the hands of children who will remember doing this. You come to honor your own dead and you leave having grieved beside an entire city.
Midday into midnight at Hollywood Forever, alongside the Mexican and Chicano community that has kept this tradition burning. Come if you are carrying someone.
