The candlelight Novenario processions are held nightly for nine evenings, leading up to the Day of the Dead. The traditional, pre-Columbian procession evokes special memories of deceased loved ones with colorful pageantry and indigenous blessings.

The Novenario processions are one portion of the Dia de los Muertos observances on Olvera Street.

Procession includes: Grupo Tartalejos (an indigenous Aztec group leading the procession with incense and ceremonial blessing), Aztec Dancers, and “Living Muertos” – participants dress up as skeletons.

Following each procession, free pan de muerto (sweet pastry) is served (first to the performers, then to the assembled).
