    Altars, traditional dances and musical performances filled Hollywood Forever Cemetery for the 24th annual Día y Noche De Los Muertos.

    The event was colored with performances and parades that entertained guests who came to honor the dead.

    Attendees were able to walk through the cemetery and view different altars that honored family, homies and culture. De Los contributors James Carbone and Sarahi Apaez captured scenes under the sun and beneath the moonlight.
