Sunday, November 6th, 2011

Location & Route:

Gather at 5:00pm
registration area In front of EPIC Cafe

Registration is meant to simply make sure musical groups are aware of their placement in relation to other musical groups (for obvious reasons) and proximity to other (non-musical) projects that may heighten the wonderful experience of the myriad of spontaneous collaborations that happen. This year– floats, moving installations, bands etc will have a separate path into the finale grounds so that we can better accommodate the flow of the finale experience-look for more details…

Procession Begins 6pm

GRAND FINALE

Mercado San Agustín on West Congress

We will be initiating our new finale site on West Congress and with the help of Gadsden Company we will be investing in a new Festival Grounds that will be developed over the next few years-look for more details soon!

Flam Chen and a multitude of other performers,
w/ the Community Spirit Group

with this years musical guest Roskruge Mariachi!

Odaiko Sonora, Batucaxe, Tucson Puppet Works and much more! Sculptural installations by Mykl Wells, Joe O’Connell, Richard Wizardry, Carlos Noggle, SORIAH, Tucson Arts Brigade, AZ burner CHURCH, Mourning Fyre

DONATE!
Look for the Donation Hats!

As organizers of the Procession, our priority is always quality of experience over quantity of participants, and though the Procession has grown exponentially, we will always strive to propagate an “ALL SOULS PROCESSION” that is a grassroots, non-commercial, hyper-inclusive, sacred event dedicated to honoring our ancestors and loved ones who have passed on.

ASP ROUGH GUIDE

DO: Come and enjoy the experience in a way that works for you. Dress up, get out of your regular regiment and persona; make a mask, a puppet, an art installation, an altar; some way of honoring those who have gone before, who we remember, honor, release, and embrace. Allow yourself to flow into an experience of real community, where we interact in ways that are different, authentic to our nature, and open to our feelings.

DON’T: Be high, drunk, or in anyone’s space in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable. This event should be safe to bring a newborn infant to, or your dear aging grandmother. What allows the magic to happen is for everyone to feel safe. It is your job to create this kind of space. The moment we require help from police or any other authority to make sure that happens, we have lost something truly precious. Please make sure to honor barricades, civilian security and civic event staff at grand finale and take care for yourself and your fellow participants in stepping off of curbs, crossing streets, train tracks and trolley tracks etc.
