Central Avenue was lit up Saturday evening with the brilliant colors and macabre costumes of the Dia de Muertos parade, sponsored by the Central Avenue Betterment Association.
The size of the crowd and the parade have increased significantly in the past two years, and a large crowd lined both sides of the avenue. Musicians and food and craft vendors were also featured up and down Central with activities going on from 3 until 9 p.m.
