All Souls Procession


 

About

The All Souls Procession is a celebration and mourning of the lives of our loved ones who have passed.

It was created to serve the need to publicly and creatively mourn and reflect on the universal experience of death and loss, to grieve and celebrate our loved ones and ancestors.

As an entirely volunteer-run arts organization, we provide lots of opportunities for folks to engage in everything from arts and crafts management, stage building, merchandise booth volunteers, ushering, fire safety, performance, etc.

Procession of Little Angels

The day before the All Souls Procession, the Procession of Little Angels (PoLA) is held. It's a child-sized, child-inspired event to remember those who have been lost in a child's way. PoLA includes arts tables, wing-painting, children's performances, community altars, and a children's Procession.

All Souls Procession

During the All Souls Procession, 40,000 participants walk the streets of downtown Tucson for a two-mile long human-powered procession that ends with the Finale, during which we burn a large Urn filled with hopes, offerings, remembrances, wishes, and prayers for those who have passed.

Procession participants create costumes, altars, floats, masks, puppets, music, and performance to honor and celebrate their loved ones and grapple with the universally shared experience of loss and grief.
