Tonight is the ninth and last night of Dia de Los Muertos and the festivities are in full swing here at Olvera Street and the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. For nine nights there are processionals, offerings, cleansings, blessings, dancing, and the construction of altars to remeber the loved ones who have died. These celebrations are held every year by the Olvera Street Merchants Association as a way to honor and share their traditions with the city.
