Dia de los muertos in South Valley. This local Albuquerque Day of the Dead celebration brings droves of burquenos out onto the main street of Isleta Boulevard, faces painted, calaveras, dressed up in marigolds to celebrate death with art and remember the dead.

New Mexicans gather to burn 50-foot tall ‘Old Man Gloom’ and destroy the troubles and worries of the previous year. After nightfall Zozobra’s enemy the red-dressed Fire Spirit Dancer performs an elaborate torch ritual stoking the bogeyman into loudly moaning and flailing about until he bursts with fireworks and ablaze falls to the ground in flames.
