The All Souls Procession Weekend

“MMOS’s flagship event began as an individual performance piece by Tucson artist, Susan Johnson in 1990. Today All Souls has now become one of the most authentic public ceremonies in North America today. Over 150,000 people from all walks of life come together every fall in Downtown Tucson to commemorate, honor, mourn and celebrate the passing of our ancestors and loved ones.

In the months leading up to the Procession, free, family-friendly workshops are offered to the public. In addition, MMOS gives people the opportunity to experience the event through projects like the Urn and Video Ancestry Project.”

Get your cardboard on at the Cardboard Ball

Posted on September 25, 2014 by | 1 comment

cardboardball

Make a fashion statement by creating your very own cardboard outfit for Saturday night’s ball at the Maker House, 283 N. Stone Ave. in Tucson (SW corner of Stone Ave. and Franklin St., just south of the Stone Ave. underpass).

There will be live music, art, beer, cardboard robots, and more.

All funds raised help purchase supplies for our free community arts workshops, where you can create masks, floats, altars, puppets, and more to honor your loved ones and carry in the Procession.

Attendees are encouraged to dress in cardboard, recycled and upcycled fashions and wearable art

For more info: www.allsoulsprocession.org, a fundraiser for the All Souls Procession Community Workshops.

You could even dress up as Cinderella to go to the ball (with cardboard instead of glass slippers?) and design a cardboard pumpkin carriage.  There were lots of amazing costumes and gear at last year’s ball. Be daring and creative.

Who knew that Thomas Jefferson and his cross-dressing pal would be at the All Souls Procession in Tucson night last ?
Where were these big thinkers from the 18th century spotted? At The Congress, of course. 
They fought for our right to vote… so do it!
